Hi,

I use the Public Beta for Sierra on my Macair and I'd like to try it on my iMac. When I try enrolling the iMac it gives me a redemption code that it then says has already been redeemed. How do I get the iMac using the Sierra Beta?

Thanks

You should just see the installer in the Purchased section of the App Store on your iMac. Download that and run the installer.

DUH !!!! Thanks. It's downloading as I write.

So, I downloaded the one in the App Store. That gave me a working build # 16269f . However the build on my Macair is 16A270F, a more recent version. I tried downloading it again from the App Store in case it would present the builds in succession but even a second install gave me build # 16A269F. Any ideas how to prompt the update or where could I get it? The "updates" button in the App Store doesn't have any updates for me.

Thanks.
