DT4 Pro Beta, DT3 licence depreciated?

Hi there! Looking for a little clarity on the new licence model and what that means for my existing DT3 licence (currently DT3 Standard, but had been looking separately at upgrade to DT3 Pro) if I upgraded to DT4 Pro during the beta.

On the logged in licence page, it says this:

Please note that purchasing an upgrade , e.g., to a higher edition, will trade your existing license for the discount and your old license will be deactivated in three months time. (emphasis mine) The upgrade from DEVONthink 3 to DEVONthink 4 is, technically, only an extension of your existing license and so the license will, of course, neither be traded in nor will its license code change.

The readme recommends running DT4 beta in a separate environment which makes me think I could keep using DT3 on my main account, since I use DT routinely as part of my daily workflow. If the beta runs longer than three months, would this mean I lose access to DT3?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The latest version 3.9.9 of DEVONthink 3 accepts also DEVONthink 4’s new licenses.

Thanks for the quick response!

Would that mean I’d have access to DT3 Pro during the beta period then, if I upgraded to DT4 Pro?

Yes. DEVONthink 3 is the public release people should use for everyday work. Version 4 is in beta to test and report issues and explore the new things and runs separately.
