3. What is a beta version?
A beta version, as opposed to a final version, is software that is undergoing its final stages in testing. We release beta versions to our customers so that the final set of bugs can be found and eliminated from WinRAR.

4. How to upgrade your old WinRAR version?
Upgrading is quick and easy. Users only need to download WinRAR 3.50 beta 6 at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html and install the newest version of WinRAR to continue using the best compression tool around!
Please close all open WinRAR archives and exit WinRAR before installing. No complicated uninstalling of the previous version is necessary.
