Additional requirements and limitations
A valid and active Red Hat or SUSE subscription is required for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise endpoint.

If a Linux update requires a restart, the endpoint must be rebooted manually, as automatic reboot is not supported by Patch Management tasks.
