One update and one complete install (a new computer) - both work equally well.

Why do we still not have an app, or a function within ProTools, which does this automatically, at least a function informing us when a plugin is out-of-date.
Each plugin manufacturer registers their updates via Avid (using their simple web interface), and ProTools communicates with this database (when asked to) and finds mismatches within your plugin folder. An auto-updater which downloads the appropriate version would be keen (a la Version Tracker), but a simple heads-up would be great.
If the manufacturers couldn't be responsible enough to keep the database up-to-date on their own, it would only entail a couple hours of work each week by a guy sitting at a laptop searching the web. Yeah, that's what assistant engineers are supposed to do, but do they?
This would be pretty simple folks. Let's go!
