Description
This SKU enables a Subscription Alignment (Co-Term) for SolarWinds Patch Manager. It is designed to synchronize the expiration date of your Patch Manager license with your existing SolarWinds portfolio (e.g., Network Performance Monitor or Server & Application Monitor).
Maintaining patch compliance is a security requirement. Co-terming ensures your access to the latest 3rd-party update catalogs (Adobe, Java, Chrome) never lapses due to administrative renewal errors.
Trusted for Security Compliance
"SolarWinds Patch Manager is a lifesaver for 3rd party patching. It integrates right into SCCM and saves us hours of manual packaging every week."
— IT Security Manager (Verified TrustRadius Review)
Why Co-Term?
- One Invoice: Consolidate security patching costs.
- Admin Ease: Align with fiscal year budgets.
- Reliability: Prevent service lapses.
- Official: Authorized SolarWinds alignment.

- 3rd Party Patching: Automate patching for Adobe, Java, Chrome, and more.

Why Patch Manager Alignment is Critical
Unlike standard software, Patch Manager relies on a constantly updated Catalog. If maintenance expires, you lose the ability to patch 3rd-party apps, leaving you vulnerable.

FAQs: Patch Manager Alignment
Q: Can I align this with NPM or SAM?
A: Yes! Since Patch Manager is part of the Orion (SolarWinds Platform) ecosystem, it is very common to align it with your main Network/Server monitoring renewal.
Q: What happens if I add more nodes mid-year?
A: You purchase the additional licenses and use this Co-Term SKU to pay the difference so they expire on your main renewal date.
Q: Does this include the license itself?
A: No. This is a maintenance/subscription alignment SKU. It assumes you already own the licenses and are just adjusting the billing period.
Q: What information is required?
A: We need your SolarWinds Customer ID (SWID) and the target expiration date you want to align to.
