Hi Nathan. Thanks for the question! The Public Preview is available to any customer holding Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 or higher. Windows Autopatch is not available for ‘A’ (or 'F') series licensing. The service is only included with Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 or higher.

 

You can find further information about licensing for Windows Autopatch in this doc: Prerequisites - Windows Deployment | Microsoft Docs

Our education customers are asking about this, but we Microsoft Gold Partner consultants have no answers for them.

 

Can the Autopatch FAQ be updated to provide additional details regarding Autopatch for Education and Frontline worker licensing?  It would be helpful to know if Autopatch was on the roadmap, when it might be available, and what limitations / requirements / restrictions are anticipated.

 

 

Does Windows Autopatch support Education (A3) or Frontline worker (F3) licensing? (Updated: June 8, 2022)

Windows Autopatch is not currently available for ‘A’ or 'F' series licensing.

Thanks

    Hi Chad,

    As mentioned - Autopatch is not available for ‘A’ or 'F' series licensing and as such there is no further information we can share in the FAQs at this time.

    As we continue to gather feedback and develop the Autopatch roadmap; we will certainly reach out to the Tech Community if this changes.

    Regards,

    Richard
