WhatsUp Gold Editions and Licensing
NOTE: A single WhatsUp Gold server can poll a maximum of 20,000 devices or 100,000 metrics with additional scalability pollers. Progress offers unrestricted licenses, which remove license limitations, however, the stated technical maximums may require the purchase of additional licenses to fully scale your environment. Contact us directly for additional detail.

Device-Based Licensing
WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition
Why settle for this…
With competitors, you pay by the interface or ‘monitor’. That means you have to figure out how many interfaces you want to monitor on each device. Often, they’ll tell you that ‘you only need to monitor a few interface per device’. Our question is ‘why compromise’?
…when you can have this?
With WhatsUp Gold’s device-based licensing you get maximal network monitoring coverage with less effort. Just decide what devices you want to manage and we make it simple from there. You pay by the number of devices you monitor and can apply as many monitors as you need.
Point-Based Licensing
WhatsUp Gold Total Plus Edition
You purchase the number of points you need (a tier) and allocate them to fit your needs.
| Requirement | Points |
|---|---|
| Network monitoring - Routers, Switches, WLCs, APs, Firewalls | 1 Point per Device (regardless of the number of sensors/elements!) |
| Server monitoring | 1 Point per Server |
| Virtual Machine monitoring | 1 Point per VM |
| Network traffic analysis | 10 Points per Flow Source (regardless of the number of interfaces!) |
| Application performance monitoring | 10 Points per Application |
| Log Management | 10 Points per Log Source |
| Configuration management | Does Not Consume Points |
Here are a few examples of ways in which you can allocate points to fit your monitoring needs.

Frequently Asked Pricing Question
Why is there no pricing listed?
WhatsUp Gold offers device-based licensing models (shown above) with multiple tiers and add-ons such as Network Traffic Analysis and Log Management. These models allow us to tailor WhatsUp Gold to meet your specific environment size and monitoring requirements. For that reason, list pricing makes no sense.
To accurately estimate costs, we require a better understanding of your environment. We recommend a short meeting with a product matter expert to align the solution to your exact needs.
That said, the cost of WhatsUp Gold is highly competitive for the industry due to our device-based pricing and the use of points for the Total Plus Edition. Many of our customers take advantage of this flexibility, adjusting their product mix over time, adding scalability pollers, add-ons and points as their IT infrastructure complexity grows.
