Why cant beta be updated to final version?

Are you having trouble updating to the final version? Before it's even released?
Ah, life as a developer can be tough, eh?

Past system betas often aren't recognized as a valid version when the final version is released (that means it won't update) That would be one of the reasons why you don't want an OS X beta. Leave it to the developers/testers, who realize that some test releases might not have updateable code, and installing the next beta may require a format. But then, a developer such as yourself would know that, eh?

Can I install final release over the beta?

Can I install final release over the beta?

OK, I'll guess.
No... It won't upgrade to the final.

Wait, here's the other guess
Yes... It will upgrade with the final version.
You may choose, and your choice won't make a difference until the final version is released.

You should know that an OS X beta might not be upgradeable, as it's for developers to test, and not for the general public to have fun with.....
Those who don't know can always guess, and those who DO know would be limited by the NDA that developers have to sign.
So, your guess is as good as mine at this time.

How many more times are you going to ask this same question?

No, maybe... Who knows?

I merged your repetitive new threads into this existing one.
Do not create new threads when there is an existing one on the subject.
And do not keep on asking the same question - especially when it is somewhat dubious (since beta-releases of OS X are only for developers and developers are well informed by Apple about the restrictions).

Further disregard of forum rules will get you banned.
