SoftwareBureau.SSUpdates.exe <switches>

Example:-

SoftwareBureau.SSUpdates.exe /autoupdate /LogDirectory=c:\sslog\

The executable can be located in your application folder (program files) which is dependant on your operating system and architecture.

To apply updates access to https://updates.thesoftwarebureau.com (Public IP 3.8.228.18) is required . To route https traffic via a proxy see Proxy Server.
