DNC software price: $99 per machine, one time
ElectronIx DNC costs $99 per CNC machine, paid once. No subscription, no server licence, no per-port fee, no modules. Count your machines, multiply by 99, and that is the whole bill.
What it costs
The arithmetic is the entire pricing model, so here it is done for you. Every row includes every feature — there is no cheaper version missing something you need, and no dearer one.
| CNC machines | One-time price |
|---|---|
| 1 — one machine, no minimum | $99 |
| 3 | $297 |
| 5 | $495 |
| 10 | $990 |
| 25 — what one PC handles | $2,475 |
One ordinary Windows PC drives around 25 machines, so the price scales with your floor while the installation does not. Indian shops are invoiced in rupees at the prevailing rate, with a GST invoice.
Why the price is on the page
Every other DNC vendor makes you ask. CIMCO DNC-Max is licensed per port, Predator DNC per module, and in both cases the number arrives after a conversation with someone whose job is to find out what you can afford. That is not a pricing model, it is a negotiating position.
We publish one rate instead. You can work out what ElectronIx DNC costs your shop before you tell us your name — which is the point.
What you get for it
- Every feature: send, receive, drip-feed with XON/XOFF pacing, per-machine program library, G-code preview and compare, and the built-in FTP server for Ethernet Fanuc controls.
- A one-time purchase. Not a subscription, and nothing expires.
- Updates within your version.
- Install on your own Windows PC — the software runs on your LAN, with no cloud account and no data leaving the shop.
- Support over WhatsApp and email, from Coimbatore, in English or Tamil.
What it does not cover
Hardware. A legacy RS-232 Fanuc needs a serial-to-Ethernet converter — an inexpensive third-party device, bought once per machine, and not from us. Ethernet-capable controls (0i-F, 30i/31i/32i) connect straight to the built-in FTP server and need nothing extra, so plenty of shops buy no hardware at all. The converter guide covers what to look for; tell us your controls and we will tell you which of them need one.
Compared with the alternatives
The feature-by-feature comparison puts ElectronIx DNC beside CIMCO DNC-Max, Cadem NCnet and Predator DNC, including what each one publishes about price. There are shops where CIMCO or Predator is the right buy, and that page says so.

Buying, or checking your machine list
You do not need a quote to know the price — but if you want us to check which of your controls connect directly and which need a converter, send the list and we will reply the same day.
Price questions
How much does DNC software cost?
ElectronIx DNC costs $99 per CNC machine, one time. A three-machine shop pays $297, a ten-machine shop pays $990. There is no subscription, no server licence, no per-port fee and no module to add later. Indian shops are invoiced in rupees with GST.
Is it a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase per machine. You are not billed again next year, and the software keeps running whether or not you renew anything — there is nothing to renew.
What happens if I add a machine later?
You pay $99 for that machine, once. Nothing about the machines you already licensed changes, and there is no upgrade tier to move up to. One Windows PC handles around 25 machines, so adding one is a licence and a cable, not a bigger installation.
What is included at that price?
Every feature — send, receive, drip-feed, the per-machine program library, G-code preview and compare, the built-in FTP server. Plus updates within your version, install on your own PC, and support over WhatsApp and email. There are no tiers to choose between.
What is not included?
Hardware. A legacy RS-232 Fanuc needs a serial-to-Ethernet converter, which is an inexpensive third-party device you buy yourself — we will tell you which one suits your control. Ethernet-capable Fanuc controls need no converter at all, so many shops buy no hardware.
How does this compare to CIMCO DNC-Max or Predator DNC pricing?
Both are quoted rather than published — CIMCO DNC-Max is typically licensed per port and Predator DNC per module, so the figure depends on a conversation with a salesperson. ElectronIx DNC publishes one rate that you can multiply yourself before contacting anyone.
Is there a free version or trial?
There is a free trial of the complete product — not a cut-down demo, no card required, 30 days on up to two machines. If it does not earn its place on your floor, uninstall it and nothing is owed.
Do you sell in Indian rupees?
Yes. Indian shops are invoiced in rupees at the prevailing rate with a GST invoice. The $99 figure is the rate the invoice is built from, so a shop anywhere pays on the same basis.
