There seems to be a few misunderstandings here.
1) vB3 license holders get a upgrade to vB4 when it goes gold
2) vB4 beta 3 is available as a perk to people who have paid to upgrade to the new licensing agreement which features:
i) Instead of yearly renewals, you now get free upgrades for that major version
ii) Upgrade cost for each new major version... 3x->4x->5x->6x
So you are no longer paying the yearly $60 or whatever it was, and are now paying for a upgrade to the software when a new major version is released.
Think of it, again like microsoft. You have versions, service packs and hotfixes.
A hotfix is like 3.1.1 to 3.1.2
A SP is like 3.2.x to 3.3.x
A Version is 3.x.x to 4.x.x
You don't pay for hotfixes and service packs. You pay for the latest versions. Vista, 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2(It is a separate version, you cannot simply upgrade)
