# "SCCM Management-Software Center VS Application Directory Web site
Software center VS application directory web site
This article mainly discusses the difference between ConfigMgr Software Center (Software Center) and Application Directory site (Application Catalog).
Software programs (including applications, packages)
For deployment types that are intended to be "available", there are the following differences:
Deployment collection deployment before SCCM 1511 display in device collection software center user collection application directory web site deployment collection deployment in device collection software center user collection application directory web site and software center
The deployment of "requirements" is displayed in the software center.
Before SCCM 1806, if Software Center wanted to display deployment information for a collection of users, the application directory web site must exist at the SCCM level, a restriction that has been lifted in SCCM 1806 and later. It can be found that in and after 1511, the application directory web site has been gradually diluted, and the deployment information has been gradually unified into the software center to display the update program.
Updates are displayed only in the Software Center
Task sequence
The task sequence is only displayed in the software center
Deployment evaluation software center: after the computer obtains the deployment information from the management point, the device immediately evaluates the relevant conditions of the deployment to determine whether the device meets the requirements, and if the requirements are met, it is displayed in the software center application directory web site: the deployment information displayed in the application directory web site starts the deployment evaluation only when the user chooses to install
It is the original intention of this series of articles to refine the basic knowledge, precautions, operating mechanism and troubleshooting methods involved in SCCM for readers. There are already many articles in the network to refer to the information on the various components and functional deployment steps of SCCM, so this series of articles do not focus on providing deployment guides similar to Step-by-Step, please forgive me. At the same time, due to the limitations of personal ability and knowledge, there are inevitably some mistakes and mistakes in the article. I hope you can correct them. Thank you very much.
