Create and export your own optimal installation \"Pack\"

UpdateStar. This export acts as a \"backup\" of a user\'s own software setup. Users can
also recommend or pass on their own optimized software setup to friends and family.

UpdateStar users can also add notes for each program within the program's details
section. This is especially useful when adding license information and exporting
these notes together with the program list for backup purposes.
