Hi thanks very much for the note,

Here are a few things that might explain some things

1) The beta is outside of the standard upgrade path at the moment so is not the official release. This is why there is a message the first time the upgraded app is launched. Clicking "Cancel" ensures the prompt does not return until a different release is published. I know this is a bit confusing, the auto update system is relatively new and will mature with better messages in the future.

2) The options show the "available" version of the std. release and not beta. Again can be ignored when using the beta

3) The 30 day trial window is currently only opened at start-up if the Arduino.exe location has never been set, indicating first time use. The same window is opened when you attempt to enable debug if the current machine is not licensed for debugging. (I was trying not to force the debugger into the faces of existing users because I figured they knew how to enable the debugging, maybe we need consistency!

4) Thanks for letting me know about the web site. I'll sort it out.

Great info for me to think about, I hope some of the reasons behind things are clear to you now even if they are not entirely correct or obvious.

Thanks again
