If you have established that you are not eligible for 0patch FREE and have to purchase 0patch licenses, and decided to purchase 0patch PRO to have access to PRO patches and enhanced support or 0patch Enterprise to have access to enterprise features, you need to know the following:
- You need one 0patch license for every computer or device, either physical or virtual, that has 0patch Agent installed regardless of its operating system type or version. For instance, if you install 0patch Agent in a small business network on 50 Windows workstations, 6 Windows Servers, and 20 virtual Windows computers, you need to purchase 50 + 6 + 20 = 76 0patch licenses. As another example, if your work computer is a Windows 10 workstation running three virtual Windows computers in VMware Workstation and have a 0patch Agent installed in all four of them, you need 4 0patch licenses.
- Virtualized desktops: You need one 0patch license for every user using a virtualized desktop on the server. For instance, if you have 2000 VDI users on a Citrix server, you need 2000 licenses for that.
- Multi-boot computers: If you have multiple operating systems installed on a computer and want to use 0patch on some or all of them, you will need one license for each.
- A single 0patch Account cannot have 0patch FREE and 0patch PRO/Enterprise licenses at the same time. The moment you purchase the first 0patch PRO or Enterprise license for an account, FREE licenses are no longer available in that account. If you are eligible for 0patch FREE but want to use 0patch PRO or Enterprise on some of your computers, you will need to create two 0patch accounts.

Where DO I install my Acct Key?
Why is my computer listed twice?
bernhard.bitsch Your computer is most likely listed twice because 0patch Agent was registered on it twice. Please login to https://central.0patch.com, locate the duplicate that hasn't been syncing (see the "Last Sync" value) and delete it.
Thank you for the quick response.
I am a home user, can I run 0patch FREE on multiple machines on 1 account or should I create extra accounts for my old laptops too? The FAQ only speaks of Pro and Enterprise users, and combining those latter with FREE accounts.
rt0patch, you can use 0patch FREE on up to 10 computers in the same 0patch account.
I am an "older person" and not particularly computer savvy. I don't want to or need to buy a new computer as this one serves my needs as a home user. I am running Windows 7 on PC and Windows 10 on an older laptop that can't be upgraded. Do I need a license? Or is the free version enough. Mostly do banking, bill paying, web surfing, email......
Hi tlibert, 0patch Free does not include all patches for Windows 7 and Windows 10. 0patch PRO is therefore the best choice for you; you will need one PRO license for each computer. Please see https://0patch.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010895840 for more information.
Important: for 0patch to apply all patches, you need to have Windows 7 and Windows 10 updated with all available Windows updates. Please see the following articles:
Windows 7: https://0patch.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009446600
Windows 10: https://0patch.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/7814435861010
ich habe eine Frage ich besitze nur einen PC wie viele Lizenzen benötige ich
Hi karlschuch1, for one PC you need one PRO license.
Hello, I want to be protected against zero day exploits on Windows 11 23h2 machines... is therefore a free license enough? Thanks!
Maybe in the future I will need a pro license on one PC, cause one of my PCs may be too old for future Windows 11 Upgrade... 24h2, 25h2...
So in this case I would need a second 0patch account? If for the other PC the free version would be enough?
Hi, I have a so far a free license for me windows 7 PC at the moment and I really like it a lot.
Really happy I found 0patch ;) Now I would want to add my windows 7 Laptop to my 0patch account. First of all: Most important: How do I do this?
And how about a new free license?
Or do I have to pay for both in one account?
Hi chrihog, you can use 0patch FREE on up to 10 non-work related computers. Just install 0patch Agent on the second computer and register it to your 0patch account.
Hi, If I purchase the Pro version, can I use this version pro for 10 computers or do I have to purchase and use a different account for each computer? I have two computers and I have to buy a new license per computer ? I running Windows 10 Pro !
Thank !
Hi claivinz, you need one license for each computer you install 0patch Agent on, but you can have any number of licenses in a single 0patch account. For two Windows 10 computers, you need one 0patch account and a subscription with two licenses.
