The download seems to be only for beta testers. Is there another way to get my hands on the RC1?

  Are you able to sign up still to be a beta tester?

    Sadly no.

I have the same problem,I already bought the RC1 via PayPal but I wrote a mail to Anthony from Division M – Drive Bender, hopefully he can help me to get the RC1 although I am not a Beta Tester!

sincerely

  Similar issue here. I click the link above pay with cc. Hopefully I can get the RC1 download access too. (not a beta tester either)

Any word on whether or not you were able to download Drive Bender even though you aren’t a beta tester?
- Andrew Edney Oct 8, 2011 At 7:38 am
  
  Sorry JJ but it looks like you had to sign up to be a beta tester earlier in the process to be able to get it.
  
  I dont believe it will be long now until the final version is out.

I guess I should have read these post before I bought it too. I saw the (Beta Testers) but I figured it would stop the process somewhere along the way if I didn’t qualify. Well I guess I’ll have to stick with WHS v1 for a while longer. I bought WHS 2011 a couple of months ago but decided to wait for something to replace Drive Extender since the RAID options were not acceptable (too slow or expensive)

So what about paying the $20? Does that allow us to download the final version, eventually, for that $20? or do I need to be asking for a refund? I do have to say that if the final version is much more than $20, I won’t be using it. $20 is already borderline expensive for an ADD-IN….especially when it was free (in WHSv1) before.

  I think the best thing would for you to contact Anthony and confirm with him as I though that the $20 was for existing beta testers. Best to check with him….
