WinGate 6.0 has three different types of license: Standard, Professional and Enterprise. There are different features included in each of these different license types. Furthermore, since it is possible to activate a previous-version WinGate license with WinGate 6.0, it is possible that some installations may have further limitations on functionality. Finally, some features are only available on certain operating systems.
The table below indicates the minimum license and OS you would require for access to a certain feature. All other features are available in all versions and types of WinGate license. Where no OS is specified, the feature is available on all Windows operating systems.
