The Patch Management capability in N-able N-central lets you manage the download and installation of Microsoft and third‑party software patches across customer networks. It uses rules, caching, multiple maintenance windows, and automated approvals to help you automate patching for managed devices..

Patch Management is available with Professional licenses.

For the full story, see What is Patch Management? and the Patch Management Engine.
