Update Google Chrome for Free: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking for a way to update Google Chrome for free? Look no further! In this article, we will walk you through the process of obtaining a custom catalog from Patch Connect Plus and adding it to your System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) console. By following these steps, you'll be able to keep your Google Chrome browser up-to-date without any hassle.

The first step is to request for a free trial version of Patch Connect Plus from ManageEngine's website. You may need to provide your corporate or private domain email ID to access the offer. Once you've obtained the trial version, wait for an email with a custom catalog URL.

Next, navigate to Software Updates - Third-Party Software Update Catalogs in the latest version of SCCM. Click on Add Custom Catalog from the ribbon menu and enter the provided catalog URL. You will be prompted to download a deb file (for Debian/Ubuntu) or a rpm file (for Red Hat-based systems).

Once you've downloaded the file, click Accept and Install to begin the update process. Note that there is no 32-bit version of Google Chrome available for download.

After installing the custom catalog, you can use SCCM's 3rd party updates options to keep your Chrome browser updated. This method ensures that your browser remains safe and secure without having to rely on a free Chrome catalog from Google.

To add a custom catalog from Patch Connect Plus, follow these steps:

1. Go ahead and click on Next, Next, and close the wizard to complete the 'Add Custom Catalog' step.

2. Provide the following details in the Third-Party Software Updates Custom Catalogs Wizard:

* Description: Mainly for Testing Chrome Updates with SCCM custom catalog

* Download URL: Your unique URL from ManageEngine, as mentioned above

3. Wait for the trial version confirmation email with a Custom Catalog URL.

By following these steps, you can easily update Google Chrome for free using Patch Connect Plus and SCCM. Remember to download the deb file (for Debian/Ubuntu) option and click Accept and Install to begin the update process.
