<p>The upgrade from 3 to 4 is not free, since a lot of work went
into it.</p>
<p>If you'd like to downgrade again, please follow these steps
(only applies, if you have actually upgraded):</p>
<ul>
<li>Stop beaTunes</li>
<li>Open Finder and go to
<code>/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Application
Support/beaTunes/</code> (you may have to use <code>Go to
Folder...</code> from the <code>Go</code> menu, as Finder hides
<code>Library</code> from you)</li>
<li>Delete the directory <code>Database</code></li>
<li>Rename the directory <code>Database Backup Unknown
Version</code> to <code>Database</code></li>
<li>Start beaTunes 3</li>
</ul>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>-hendrik</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/338663652014-07-22T19:55:38Z2014-07-22T19:55:38ZUpgrade?<div><p>Should I allow the fourteen day trial to lapse will the program

<p>no, you will not lose the program. You still have a valid
beaTunes 3 license and can of course run the program. I just
realized that you are on Windows, not OS X, so the recipe described
above is no good for you. Instead, do this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stop beaTunes</li>
<li>Uninstall beaTunes <strong>without</strong> deleting its
database (bpm, key, color - there is a question in the
uninstaller)</li>
<li>Open Explorer and go to
<code>C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\tagtraum
industries\beaTunes\</code> (Note that Windows Explorer may hide
the folder <code>AppData</code> from you. To navigate to it, you
can simply type it into the Explorer navigation bar or tell
Explorer to show hidden files.)</li>
<li>Delete the directory <code>database</code></li>
<li>Rename the directory <code>database Backup Unknown
Version</code> to <code>database</code></li>
<li>Download and install the most recent beaTunes 3 version from
<a href=
"http://www.beatunes.com/beatunes-download-old.html">http://www.beatunes.com/beatunes-download-old.html</a></li>
<li>Start beaTunes 3</li>
</ul>
<p>To go back to beaTunes 3, follow the steps described above and
continue using beaTunes 3. No need to stick with 4.</p>
<p>If you're interested in upgrading to 4, the upgrade license is
heavily discounted, $11.95 instead of $34.95. And I completely
understand, if you don't want to upgrade.</p>
<p>I hope this clarifies the upgrade/downgrade options.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

offer.<br>
I am using windows 8.1 however and only see the $35 option.<br>
Please advise.</p></div>Richard Bementtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/338663652014-07-23T12:58:02Z2014-07-23T12:58:02ZUpgrade?<div><p>Hi Richard,</p>
