Admin Http Time Sync Editor's Review

This program synchronizes your PC clock using the HTTP protocol. It has the advantage of being able to synchronize with any computer connected to the Internet. The time synchronization service, which is built in the Windows operating system, is a bit tricky. It requires the logged user to have administrative privileges over the computer that needs to be synchronized.

The HTTP protocol is used for accessing Internet web pages. If you can access web pages on your computer, you can also use 'Admin Http Time Sync' to synchronize your computer's clock. The setup utility installs a Windows Service on your computer. In the full version (i.e. not trial), this service can be configured to automatically synchronize your clock. If you choose not to buy the program, you don't have any restrictions except that you have to do the synchronization manually.

Admin Http Time Sync uses the publisher's web servers to get the current date. It can be configured to use multiple servers when obtaining the current time. If the first fails, the second is accessed, then the third, and so on.

Pluses: You can define a "time offset", which is used when synchronizing the clock. This means that you can set your PC clock ahead or back.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: If you can't use the Windows Time synchronization service, you might want to try Admin Http Time Sync.
