Custom App Requirements for Patch My PC Publisher

Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V3.x

Patch My PC (PMPC) Custom Apps allow you to package and manage your own applications alongside the Patch My PC catalog.

Publisher integrates with Patch My PC Cloud to retrieve Custom App metadata and publish it into your environment using your existing publishing workflows.

Requirements

Important

These requirements only apply if you are publishing Custom Apps through Publisher to either Microsoft ConfigMgr or Intune.

To publish Custom Apps to either Microsoft ConfigMgr or Intune using Publisher, you must meet all of the following requirements:

• Be using Publisher version 2.1.20.0 or later.

• Have an active Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Premium, or MSP subscription.

• Your organization must be onboarded to PMPC Cloud by creating a Cloud Company.

• Publisher must be connected to your Cloud Company.

Note

Customers with a Managed Service Provider (MSP) or MSP Plus subscription can connect Publisher to only one PMPC Cloud company. We recommend connecting Publisher to the MSP Parent Cloud company, rather than an individual MSP customer Cloud company, to ensure proper management and visibility of the Custom Apps made available to Publisher.

Important

Publisher is not required if you only plan to deploy your Custom Apps from PMPC Cloud.
