Progress WhatsUp Gold Total Plus Upgrade License – 75 Monitoring Points

Introducing the Progress WhatsUp Gold Total Plus Upgrade License with 75 Monitoring Points—a powerful upgrade that elevates your IT monitoring capabilities without overhauling your existing setup. This license is designed for administrators who demand deeper visibility, smarter alerting, and scalable performance across complex networks. By upgrading to Total Plus, you unlock a richer feature set, enabling you to monitor a wider range of devices, services, and applications with precision and ease. Whether you’re safeguarding a small business network or managing a distributed enterprise, this upgrade delivers the reliability, speed, and clarity you need to keep systems online and teams productive.

• 75 Monitoring Points for broad visibility: This upgrade expands your monitoring horizon to 75 distinct targets, allowing you to track critical servers, network devices, virtual environments, cloud services, and key applications from a single, unified console. With ample monitoring points, you can assign precise metrics to each asset—uptime, latency, CPU, memory, disk space, interface throughput, and service status—giving you a complete picture of network health at a glance. The elevated point count supports proactive maintenance by revealing trends and early warning signs before incidents impact users, helping you optimize capacity planning and performance across your IT stack.
• Upgrade license to Progress WhatsUp Gold Total Plus: This upgrade moves your existing WhatsUp Gold installation into the Total Plus tier, unlocking advanced monitoring capabilities, enhanced dashboards, and richer alerting without starting from scratch. The Total Plus upgrade complements your current configuration and historical data, preserving familiar workflows while expanding visibility and control. With upgrade licensing, you avoid reinstallations or data migrations, making the transition smooth and efficient for busy IT teams who need results fast.
• Agentless and agent-based monitoring support for multivendor networks: WhatsUp Gold supports both agentless checks (such as SNMP, WMI, and standard probes) and optional agents for deeper visibility into endpoints, servers, and applications. The Total Plus upgrade amplifies these capabilities, enabling you to monitor diverse hardware and software ecosystems—from switches and routers to virtual machines and cloud workloads—without adding complexity. This hybrid approach reduces footprint where possible while delivering granular data where it matters most, so you can tailor monitoring to your environment and budget.
• Real-time dashboards, alerts, and reporting: The Total Plus upgrade brings sophisticated dashboards that can be customized to reflect your organization’s priorities. Create role-based views for network engineers, IT operations, and executives, and configure alerts across thresholds, events, and correlations. Rich reporting helps you track uptime, performance trends, capacity utilization, and service availability over time, supporting audits, capacity planning, and strategic decision-making. With actionable insights at your fingertips, you can respond faster to incidents, reduce mean time to repair, and demonstrate value to stakeholders.
• Flexible licensing and PC-based deployment for quick adoption: Designed for straightforward installation on a PC, this upgrade combines practical deployment with scalable licensing. The 75-point license can be added to an existing WhatsUp Gold environment with minimal downtime, and its clear licensing structure makes it easy to manage and transfer as your network evolves. Whether you’re expanding into new sites, adding devices, or consolidating monitoring responsibilities, the Total Plus upgrade provides a simple path to growth without disrupting ongoing operations.
