    Hi Deepak,

    Managed Package:- Managed packages are typically used by salesforce.com partners to distribute and sell applications to customers. Once the components are installed from a managed package, the components cannot be edited in the organization they are installed in.

     

    Unmanaged Package:- Unmanaged packages are typically used to distribute open-source projects or application templates to provide developers with the basic building blocks for an application. Once the components are installed from an unmanaged package, the components can be edited in the organization they are installed in.
