Product licensing

SolarWinds licenses Patch Manager according to the number of managed systems. These systems include all WSUS, SCCM, and Patch Manager servers, as well as all managed client systems.

The Primary Application Server (PAS) installed on the Patch Manager server calculates the number of managed computers using two sources:

  • Enterprise > Managed Computers node
  • Administration and Reporting: > Task History node

You can access these nodes from the Patch Manager Web Console.

License types

You can purchase a term-basedPatch Manager license in the Customer Portal. When the subscription license expires, you must renew your license to continue using the application. After you complete the purchase, install Patch Manager and activate the license.

You can upgrade to a larger tier license to support additional nodes. Contact SolarWinds Sales for details.
