Why have options?
Put simply, if you are a larger company then you are much more likely to need the power of Workbench Professional. Quality Workbench is aimed at smaller companies, or those with smaller departmental use. However, many of these customers often just need one or two features available in the Professional version. Now you can enhance your Quality Workbench system to make it more powerful with a new activation key - it's that simple!
