Abstract
A method to be performed by a processor of a first computing device includes detecting one or more computing devices remote from the first computing device, establishing a peer-to-peer connection with a second computing device from among the one or more computing devices, comparing a first version of a software program installed on the first computing device to a second version of the software program installed on the second computing device, and upon determination that the second version of the software program is more recent than the first version of the software program, receiving second installation software associated with the second version of the software program and executing the second installation software to install the second version of the software program onto the first computing device.
