We are looking to do a global update to our FreeFileSync installations, and are looking to verify what value we should use to prevent checking for updates.

The value in the settings file is: <LastOnlineCheck>??</LastOnlineCheck>

What do we set this to in order to prevent FreeFileSync from checking for updates?

Thanks!

Stefan, the "??" was just my placeholder in the question, not the value I have in my XML file (grin), sorry for the confusion!

I did not want to pre-answer the question by including what we use today (-1), I just wanted confirmation that -1 is in fact the value that FreeFileSync uses to turn off the "Check for Updates" feature.
