Do you need a separate driver updater?

Start with Windows Update if your hardware works correctly. Driver Updater adds scheduled checks, driver backups and recovery controls in one application. It suits users maintaining several PCs, but a newer driver is not automatically the best choice for every device. For other tasks, compare our PC utilities.

What you receive

Licendi supplies a new licence key from European distribution, the official vendor download link and a PDF invoice showing VAT. Email delivery is instant during office hours and within 24 hours at the latest outside them. Business buyers can request a multi-unit quote by email or chat.

Driver checks with a recovery route

The program detects missing or outdated drivers and matches hardware to its driver database. Ashampoo’s 2026 update adds a detailed installation history and rollback controls. During the initial scan it backs up existing drivers and creates a Windows restore point, so check that these preparations finish before applying updates.

A scheduler handles recurring checks, and access to Windows Update lets you prioritise Windows-provided updates. These are driver-management tools, not a complete backup of your documents. Ashampoo lists Windows 10 and Windows 11 and requires administrator rights.

Activation and first steps

1. Download the named edition using the link in your delivery email and install it with administrator rights.
2. Enter the supplied key in the activation screen. An internet connection is required; Ashampoo also checks the licence periodically.
3. Review the first scan and driver backup, then update a selected device and test it before changing more components.

If activation fails, check the product version and paste the key without extra spaces. Contact Licendi by email or chat with the error message. During the one-month activation guarantee, support helps or replaces a key that will not activate.

Licence duration and future versions

The supplied licence lasts one year for up to three PCs. Continued licensed use after that term requires a new or renewed licence. The reviewed documentation does not specify exactly which controls remain available after expiry, so ongoing scans or downloads beyond the term are not promised.
