If you are an IT Technician and you don’t have Liberkey then you are missing out big time. Over the years I’ve collected a variety of programs that I use as a software tool kit (maybe I should list those) but I could have save a lot of time all those years just by downloading Liberkey.
As the name suggest Liberkey is designed to run on a usb stick. Like Portable Apps, Liberkey is a collection of portable applications. 214 applications to be exact (Ultimate Edition). There are so many that often I will download new software to try it only to find out later that my Liberkey already had it.
As I’m typing this Liberkey is updating itself and the really cool thing is its updating the applications as well. I popped it in this morning to see if it had a screen shot program (which it does) and Liberkey told me there was an update, downloaded the update and it starting installing updates on all the application that need them. What a great feature. One of the biggest pains I have is keeping my software tools current.
Portable Apps is a great program too but I find Liberkey to contain more applications related to my work and just more applications in general. Also the GUI interface isn’t as pretty but that means it is more responsive and easier to use (for me).
Anywho between Liberkey and Nettools I doubt there is much else I need as a Network Administrator and PC Technician. I should mention that the site comes up by default in French but there is a little flag to click on for English.
Oh yeah, it’s free.
