Software Manager is a utility program from Flexera, a major source of application installers that work on Microsoft Windows. Many program installers contain automatic update checking for a program so that on a regular basis the program connects to the company online to see if updates are available. However, users often choose to disable this option. For applications that do not give users the option of disabling checking for automatic updates, Software Manager can accomplish this task.
