Editions are sized by scale
Editions define scale. The pairing of an edition with a customer type is based on typical use, not a strict classification. A large fabless company, for example, may need a higher edition than Professional because of its number of users. We’ll help you choose which edition suits your needs.
Modules are licensed flexibly and are not tied to an edition.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between the Professional, Industrial and Ultimate editions?
All three editions run the same YieldWatchDog platform and differ in scale: the maximum number of CPU cores used, the number of concurrent clients, the included support hours, the data import mechanism and the number of servers. The Professional edition is designed for smaller companies with a limited number of users and lower customization requirements. The Industrial edition suits companies with many users and high customization requirements, and the Ultimate edition is built for larger companies with multiple sites and long-term data storage requirements. The pairing of an edition with a customer type — such as fabless companies, IDMs, or multinational companies — is based on typical use, not a strict classification. A large fabless company, for example, may need a higher edition than Professional because of its number of users. Modules are licensed flexibly and are not tied to an edition. Tell us about your data volume, users and sites, and we will help you choose.
What do the included support hours cover?
YieldWatchDog is more than just software — it’s a solution backed by responsive, comprehensive customer support. Each edition of the software includes a set number of annual support hours: 60 hours with the Professional edition, 120 with the Industrial edition, and 300 with the Ultimate edition. Support hours can be used, for example, for custom feature development or additional data integration, not only for troubleshooting. On top of software maintenance, further support hours are available as packages for custom development. Every edition also includes user training, full admin access to the permission management system and concurrent access for multiple clients.
How is YieldWatchDog licensed?
Licensing is time-based: you pay monthly, quarterly or yearly, so there is no large upfront investment. YieldWatchDog comes in three editions — Professional, Industrial and Ultimate — for different requirements in data volume, users and customization, and grows with your business from start-up to global corporation. Every edition offers unlimited database size and failover cluster support and includes a set number of support hours per year: 60 for Professional, 120 for Industrial and 300 for Ultimate. Modules are licensed flexibly and can be added to any edition. Please contact us and describe your requirements, and we will propose the edition and the modules that fit.
How can I try YieldWatchDog before licensing it?
