Annual Updates vs Annual Version Release - What's the Difference?

Why pay for 2025 Annual Updates when the 2025 version of MillBox isn’t out yet?

It’s a great question—and one we hear often from CAM technicians and lab owners. Many assume that buying Annual Updates means purchasing a specific version, like the 2025 release. But with MillBox, it’s not about a single version—it’s about continuous access. Here’s the difference:

  • 2025 Version: If MillBox sold a standalone “2025 version,” it would be a single software release at one point in time, which could become outdated as new improvements are developed.

  • 2025 Annual Updates: This is a year-long subscription that gives you access to every core revision released from January 1 to December 31, 2025, ensuring continuous improvements.

Let’s break it down further.

What Are 2025 Annual Updates?

When you purchase 2025 Annual Updates, you’re not buying a one-time “2025 version” of MillBox. Instead, you’re getting a full year of access to every core revision released between January 1 and December 31, 2025.

Unlike companies that save new features for a big annual release, CIMsystem delivers core revisions approximately every three weeks. These updates include:

  • New features and performance enhancements
  • Global CAM strategy improvements
  • Stability fixes and compatibility updates (e.g., for Windows)

Why Buy Annual Updates Now?

Waiting for the official “2025 version” might seem like a smart move—but it means missing out on months of valuable updates. By purchasing early, you unlock:

  • Continuous Updates
    • Access every core revision throughout the year—install monthly, quarterly, or whenever needed.
  • Early Access
    • Get new features and optimizations before and after the 2025 version is released.
  • Stable Operations
    • Stay compatible with system updates like Windows to avoid workflow disruptions.
  • Global Strategies
    • Leverage the latest CAM innovations from users and partners worldwide.
  • The 2025 Version—and More
    • The official 2025 version is just one of many updates you’ll receive.

The Bottom Line

With 2025 Annual Updates, you’re not just buying a version—you’re investing in a full year of continuous improvements to keep your MillBox system optimized and cutting-edge.

Don’t wait for the 2025 version.
