Patch Access Policy

Searching for Patches

To search for patches, access Patch Finder directly. You can also go to Novell's general download site and click on the search patches button.
  • A red lock icon displays by restricted patches. Log in to see if you have access.
  • A green open lock icon displays by restricted patches for which you have access (prior login required.)
