The Free Trial will give you all Pro features for free for the trial period. Outside of a trial you can still get free Patch, Hardware, and Software assessments through the IT Advisor scan. Once the IT Advisor scan is complete the Hardware, Software, and Patch data is populated and fully available to you throughout the product. Run the IT Advisor scan and click on the Patch tab once complete and you will have your patch assessment. The IT Advisor Assessment uses the same engines as each of the features individually as well as some additional queries that give us enough data to provide additional recommendations, alerts, and actions. More of these types of feedback will release as time goes on. Currently the IT Advisor can assess and make recommendations for improving your Virtual Infrastructure and Patch Managment. Additional aspects of IT management will come online over time.
Hopefully this answers your immediate question.
