Nope. You can download the beta if you purchase now. When the final release is ready you will be sent another e-mail with instructions on how to download the final. Even if you opt for the CD I think you can download the Beta once you make your purchase. EDIT: I am not sure if you get 4 now that you can download the beta, I would think so, since you are entitled to the free upgrade. But if you purchase 5 now, it is instantly available.
