| VMware Aria Automation | vra |
| Workspace ONE Access | vidm |

The patching process involves downloading or importing the patch into VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle and applying it to the installed product. For most VMware Aria Suite products, you can install patches directly on the product or apply the patch using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. For VMware Aria Automation, you must use VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle to apply a patch.
All patches are available from the Content Delivery Network (CDN). If you can access the CDN, you can download patch files directly to VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. If you are on a VPN with restricted network access, you can log in to the My VMware portal to manually download patch files to your local drive and then import them to VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
