I use the above successfully with a premium theme I develop (Stallion
SEO theme) with thousands of users with no problems reported so far,
had two updates since adding it to Stallion so a lot of websites
updated that way.

Hooks into the WordPress updates and looks/acts like a WordPress
repository update to your theme users.

Can take a little while for the updates to show up in your Dashboard
so don't jump to the conclusion it failed if it doesn't show an update
the moment you add the code.
