Thank you for unearthing from the KC Softwares team the alternatives.

As always, this is presented to save others' time and effort,
since they can now simply click on the URLs I've provided from T's information.
The hope is that they will _add value_ to what T started,
which is replacement apps for Sumo/Dumo in particular.

Hello,
After about 20 years of a fantastic adventure, and due to the general context,
we have taken the decision to stop. Several good alternatives are on the market...
but we hope you enjoyed our products up to now.
Products will reach EOL, which means that they will stop to work quickly
after this date, depending on the progressive decommissioning of the server
architecture. As indicated on our "buy" page, the product (and activation licence)
"lifetime" ends at EOL https://kcsoftwares.com/?buy
While SUMo was an "aged" product, based on technology from 2 decades ago,
I'm confident that the developper's community will soon come with a better,
more modern, future-proof alternative.
Of course I could quote one of the many good updaters on the market
UCheck, VulnDetect, PatchMyPC, WingetUI, UpdateHub, Chocolatey, Scoop
and certainly more.
Some other actors of this market (such as UCheck CEO) are already

I hope you enjoyed SUMo and that it has been a useful software for you up to now.
