See:

Scrivener 3 is available now for Windows. For more information, please visit the features page. To buy, click “Buy Now”.

If you own Scrivener 1 for Windows, you are eligible for an upgrade discount.

If you purchased Scrivener 1 on or after 20th November 2017, you can update to Scrivener 3 for free.

If you purchased Scrivener 1 before that date, you can update to Scrivener 3 with a 49% discount.

Do i need to uninstall the last windows 3 beta version i have installed before i install the ready-to-use version ?

Yes, you should uninstall it before installing v3.0.

It would have been best to export your preferences first, but since the beta expired long ago you can’t launch it now.

  1. Launch a project in Scrivener
  2. File > Options > Manage > Save Options to file. This saves your current Scrivener options to a file, which you can then restore from in the event of a reinstall or migration to a new PC or whatever.
  3. To restore your saved options, do File > Options > Manage > Restore Options from file.

If you want to transfer your beta options to v3, I don’t think this process will help you now, because you won’t be able to launch the expired beta.
