Unlock the full power of Progress WhatsUp Gold with the Premium Upgrade License designed to scale your network monitoring on a single Windows PC. This upgrade license is crafted for IT teams who manage larger, more complex environments and demand advanced visibility, faster troubleshooting, and smarter automation. With support for up to 200 devices, you gain richer insights, granular alerting, and flexible reporting that streamline operations, reduce downtime, and improve service levels. The upgrade seamlessly extends your existing WhatsUp Gold deployment, delivering a clear path to scale without migrating away from familiar tools or workflows. Quick to deploy on a Windows PC, this Premium upgrade brings enterprise-grade monitoring capabilities into a convenient, scalable package for growing networks.

• Comprehensive device visibility and scalable monitoring for up to 200 devices: This Premium upgrade expands your WhatsUp Gold deployment to cover a broad array of network devices, servers, and endpoints. It includes automatic device discovery, real-time status monitoring, performance counters, SNMP and WMI support, and end-to-end visibility across your topology. With enhanced maps, customizable dashboards, and detailed historical reporting, you’ll quickly identify bottlenecks, track trends, and pinpoint the exact location of faults across a large network. The 200-device scope is ideal for mid to large networks, ensuring you have a centralized view of health, utilization, and availability across critical infrastructure, without sacrificing performance or clarity in your dashboards and reports.
• Fast, straightforward installation on a Windows PC: The Premium upgrade is designed for rapid deployment within a Windows environment. It integrates with your existing WhatsUp Gold installation, requiring no major architectural changes. The upgrade process is streamlined to minimize downtime, with a simple license upgrade path, straightforward activation, and smooth activation through the WhatsUp Gold licensing portal. Once activated, the upgrade unlocks Premium capabilities while preserving your current configurations, maps, and alerting rules, so you can continue monitoring with minimal disruption and immediate ROI.
• Powerful alerting and notification capabilities: Premium brings enhanced alerting flexibility to your network monitoring. Create thresholds and rules that trigger proactive notifications across multiple channels, ensuring the right people are alerted at the right time. With richer alerting logic, you can reduce noise through smarter severities, deduplication, and suppression settings, while still receiving timely notifications for critical incidents. This leads to faster mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to resolution (MTTR), keeping your network healthier and your teams more responsive.
• Centralized management, reporting, and analytics: The upgrade consolidates monitoring data into a single, coherent pane of glass. Expect deeper reporting capabilities, formatted dashboards, and export-ready insights that support capacity planning, SLA reporting, and regulatory compliance. Whether you’re tracking network performance, application responsiveness, or fault trends, Premium’s analytics empower IT leadership with concrete, data-driven decisions. This centralized approach reduces manual efforts, accelerates troubleshooting, and provides repeatable reporting templates for consistent business communications.
