I have never received an update notice from NI, XLN, Toontrack or IK. I think I have had a few notices from Toontrack but never before I heard about it here and not at all consistent. Wouldn't it be great if,say, NI Service Center and the others had a "check for Updates" setting and how often and when to check (like 3 AM) and how often to check (Monday, Wed, Fri). How hard would that be to do?
