Yes that makes sense. After all the beta does not include all of the
features of the final version so it is not just a matter of unlocking some.
That notice I saw would be standard for any normal triasl to full licence
(as happens with all LR and CS retail trials.
I have my LR4 running and when I entered the (spearately provided fromthe
download) serial number the Adobe automated response was that it was
an upgrade serial number and needed the previous as well. It then filled in
my previous too automaticaLLY anyway trial serial number and neit

Cheers,
Geoff
