# List of domains for patch-related tasks

This document provides a compilation of **authorized domains that the Patch Manager Plus server communicates to download the necessary files for patching**. These domains are crucial to ensure the patching process is seamless without any hitches. They play a critical role in maintaining uninterrupted and effective patching.

The Patch Manager Plus server reaches the domain **patchdb.manageengine.com** to download patch details (version, download URL of the vendor, etc.). The server then uses these patch details to reach the below-mentioned domains for patch downloads.
