Both the Commercial and Registered editions offer the following benefits:
- Quick Start Guide
- Ranch Interview and Preferences sections for customization
- Straight-forward navigation and innovative functionality
- Customized record-keeping in one central location
- Advanced equipment and pasture movement features accommodate upcoming animal ID needs
- Built-in interfaces with automatic updates and extra features (no hidden or add-on fees)
- No subscription fees or annual renewals
- Six-month upgrade protection (new version is free if released within six months of purchase)
Additionally, all CattleMax editions are based on Microsoft Access technology to provide maximum compatibility with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista, as well as a familiar look and feel (though Access is not required on the computer to run the CattleMax software). And because we believe you should be able to access your records from outside of the software (if you want to), the CattleMax herd file is in an Access database format. Your records and reports can easily be exported to Excel, Word/text and PDF formats to suit your needs. CattleMax is compatible with all major Electronic ID and weigh scale models.

Determining Which Edition is Right for You
Question #1: How many breeding cows do you need to track? If your answer is less than 50, you qualify as a small herd cattle rancher. If more than 50, you will need one of the unlimited herd editions.
Question #2: Do you have commercial or registered cattle?
Question #3: Do you have advanced record-keeping needs that require features such as breed association interface compatibility, ET breeding, pedigrees and marketing tools? If so, the Registered edition is the one you want. Otherwise, the Commercial edition will provide everything you need.
But you don't have to worry about making the wrong choice. You can upgrade from small herd to unlimited or Commercial to Registered at any time by simply paying the difference. And all of your records will stay intact.
