Good evening!

Can APM or Chocolatey for Automate update apps that weren't installed by choco while using the free version? From what I gather, the "sync" function of the paid version can do this, but I would like to confirm whether APM mimics this functionality.

What Chocolatey is doing is making assioations between apps installed in the Windows App list and the packages it hosts on the repository.


An Example of this is Google. If they detect that Google Chrome is installed then they know to use the "googlechrome" package to install updates.

With the free Chocolatey versions, you have to do this manually. In our plugin, you can create approved application lists which will force Chocolatey to install and assioate a package name on the repository with a application on the agent.

With Automate Package Manager, you can create many policies, and apply these policies to one or more agents, locations or clients. Policies define what applications you want to manage.
