Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition Beta is Available

[SeeleyOne]

It is a totally separate data set, so the answer is "no"

@RPGer6409:
No. They are entirely different datasets. 3E M&M won't wipe out 2E M&M anymore than Pathfinder will wipe out 2E M&M.

No it will not. The 3rd edition dataset is treated as a separate game system (just like Pathfinder or World of Darkness is).

So acquiring the beta would follow the rules for INITIAL ELECTRONIC LICENSE PURCHASES.\

I'm just wondering because I purchased it last night and haven't received a license email yet. So I should probably contact support. No, it's not in my junk folder.

You can either select the M&M3 Beta option as your free game system with your initial purchase or you can obtain it as an add-on if you already have other game systems activated for your license.

Since you say you "purchased it last night", I'm not sure what you purchased last night (the "it" is not clear to me). If you purchased the Hero Lab product last night, you should receive an email with your license number, and then you'll select M&M3 when you activate your license. However, if you already have Hero Lab and purchased M&M3 as an add-on, then you will *not* receive a new licnese number. Instead, you simply need to run the Reactivate License wizard to gain access, and you'll find more details on this within the receipt email you were sent.

The email is sent to the address provided during the purchase process. If it didn't get through, then something is blocking it, such as a spam filter.

Sorry I wasn't clearer earlier. I already owned HL and just added the beta for 3e. It's been a while since I used it and was unclear as to whether I needed to install it as a new product or an add-on (as in adding ultimate power might be considered an add-on to 2e and a new game system would be considered a new product/license).

I did get the email but it said that for a new product I would get another email (which I obviously did not get.

Everything is fine now. I also didn't realize I just had to reactivate my license and download the HL update with the beta.

So, thanks for the help and, once again, I apologize for the confusion.
