# Prerequisites for Patch My PC Cloud

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

To use Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud, you need:

* An Internet connection that can access Microsoft Azure services and the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud Platform (<https://portal.patchmypc.com/>).
* A Microsoft Entra ID tenant

{% hint style="info" %}
Note

We currently do not support [GCC High tenants](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/office-365-us-government/gcc) for Patch My PC Cloud. You can help us prioritize this [feature](https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-4260).&#x20;

Patch My PC Cloud supports authentication through Microsoft Entra ID only. Direct SSO with third-party identity providers such as Okta or PingFederate is not currently supported.

Patch My PC Cloud does not expose SAML or OIDC endpoints for customer-managed third-party IdP integrations. As a result, third-party IdPs cannot federate directly with Patch My PC Cloud, and Patch My PC Cloud cannot directly consume or validate assertions, tokens, or MFA claims issued by those providers.
{% endhint %}

* An Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Premium, or Managed Service Provider (MSP) Plus subscription.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

With an MSP Plus subscription, you can manage any number of devices. However, there is a minimum monthly charge based on 50 devices per tenant.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

We no longer allow customers whose Entra ID domain starts with "m365x" to start a Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud trial. Such customers no longer see the option to start PMPC Cloud Trial and will either need to enter a PMPC Cloud license key or activate their license using their on-premises Publisher license key.

See [Features by plan](https://patchmypc.com/request-quote#feature-comparison) for more information on our different subscription levels.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

* A minimum of two users, who will be granted [**Access Management**](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/administration/managing-users/modify-a-user#managing-access-management-privileges-for-a-user) privileges within PMPC Cloud.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/prerequisites.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
