Step-by-step guide to allow third-party product families in the System Center Configuration Manager.
This short guide describes how to allow products for Software Update points using the System Center Configuration Manager console. Once products are allowed, the applicable third-party patches that have been published to the Software Update point will appear in the Software Library after a Software Synchronization has taken place.
If you don't select allowed product categories in the SCCM administration console, then these updates will not be synchronized by SCCM and will not be displayed in the SCCM Console as available updates.
During patch creation, make sure to select 'Use Flexera Custom Naming' tick box to place all SVM packages under one category.
