Which license for an Open Source product should I choose to pay for commercial use?

There is a software product available for free access. I allow it to be used completely, but when embedding it in my own commercial products, I would like to receive dividends. That is, I want to make commercial use paid.
I studied licenses for a long time and could not find the right one for myself. Wildebeest does not fit, Apache seems to be too. Advise pliz who is in the subject!

You can release software using multiple licenses:

  • Non-commercial use
  • Commercial use

Often one of the licenses is proprietary, allowing you to create proprietary applications based on the given software, and the other is free, requiring, for example, that any application based on this software be released under the same license. The owner of the software copyright in this case releases the free version for free, and receives royalties for the proprietary version.
