Hi weipai,

> so, as a student, if i buy the EDU version of v2 now will i get to use the beta?

Yes, any v2 license including an EDU license has access to the v3 beta releases.


> and what's the upgrade path to v3 when 1.0 comes out?

You'll need to purchase an upgrade license to the v3 version when it's all finished up and the beta period is complete. There should be an edu discount upgrade version available, it will probably cost the same as the v1 to v2 upgrade which was $50 for educational, $100 for regular commercial.

It will still be quite a while before the final v3 is ready, I expect the beta period to probably run through until late next year.
