Patches are being applied to processes by 0patch Agent, a small Windows application running on the computer. 0patch Agent must be registered in order to receive patches. To register 0patch Agent, you need a 0patch account in 0patch Central (https://central.0patch.com).
Once registered, 0patch Agent periodically contacts our server to see if any new patches are available - and downloads them if they are. We call this process syncing (i.e., synchronizing with server).
0patch Agent periodically sends telemetry data to 0patch Server, allowing users to remotely monitor their agents and allowing us to monitor for problems and usage in order to be able to provide a better service.
Once every 24 hours, and each time after receiving new patches, 0patch Agent scans local drives on the computer for patchable modules so that it can display them in the console and provide the user with accurate information on which of our patches are relevant (i.e., applicable) on their computer.
In order to get any particular patch applied to vulnerable processes, the account under which the agent is registered must have a valid license for that patch. Every new 0patch account initially has the default “FREE” license that covers all free patches and can be used on non-work related computers and by certain non-commercial entities (see current License Agreement for details); everyone else needs to purchase a license that includes additional patches and technical support.
