We never stop here at PG Music, so make sure that you check in on your installation of Band-in-a-Box® occasionally - we frequently release free patch updates to enhance existing versions, and fix 'bugs' reported by program users.
Windows program updates can be found here. We have a separate page for Mac updates, here.
You can also setup Band-in-a-Box® to check for updates automatically! Head to the Preferences window in the program, and select "Automatically check for updates every [__] days" (choose your number).
Not sure which "build" you have? Help | About... will bring up a window that will show your exact version number!
When a new Build comes out does it include all the previous Builds? Let's say I'm at Build A, I never get around to installing "B", but "C" comes out and I install it. Will "C" include everything I missed by not installing "B"? Thanks.

Good question. Generally speaking the latest build patch includes all previous updates. Unless specifically advised, you should not have to perform incremental updates.
BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
VideoTrack is right - the patch typically includes all previous patches for that version. You do not need to install previous version patches before the most recent one.
Thanks, good to know for sure. ** I have one more question about updates. I just purchased FL Studio. It has a BIAB plugin. Lets say PG Music updates their plugin. If by installing the patch in BIAB will FL Studio automatically pick up the updated plugin or do I need to also re-install in FL Studio itself?
The "Band-in-a-Box DAW VST Plugin" is updated along with the main Band-in-a-Box program, provided that you check that box in the patch installer (default=checked). You can also check the File | About dialog within the plugin and make sure it is the latest available version e.g. 2.12.9.
... My Mac has done a software update to macCatalina version 10.15.5
When trying to open BiaB, it states an update to the program is required for it to operate with the above Mac software. My BiaB is version 2018, 267 Can anybody advise if there is an update available to assist in getting the BiaB operating again?...
Yep, Mike gave the answer I did. Although I don’t use it much, I also have BIAB for Mac. The two versions - Windows and Mac - are supposed to be using the same code base now so they are getting closer in features, and the development time is shortening in between the release of the Windows version and the Mac version.
