Working With the Content Update Tool
With the advent of subscription support, some software manufacturers require a
subscription to download software patches and updates. Due to this subscription model
some vulnerabilities retrieved from the Global Subscription Server cannot include the
vendor’s patch. It is the Content Update Tool that will allow you to associate these
vulnerabilities with the patches you download from the vendor. By associating these patches
with the vulnerability details retrieved from the Global Subscription Server, you can continue
to use the power and convenience of ZENworks Patch Management when maintaining your
network.
