Update History

You can see the different versions of IAC-BOX. If you have a valid Software Maintenance Subscription, you can update your system to the latest version at any time.

Since IAC-BOX V3.6 we have additionally implemented patch level. The patch level is visible by the add on pxxxx of the version number e.g. IAC-BOX 3.6.2848 (p2880) and contains small patches. Therefore we have less CD releases which means that backups can be used for a longer time because restoring a backup just depends on the version number and not on the patch level.
