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.

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!
