RC2 is the same version as the release. You are already done.

If you want to stay on public releases you should leave the beta track.

It's not... RC 2 is 20B28 where release version is 20B29.

Just go over Software Update and hit cmd + r . Worked on me yesterday and downloaded 2 GB only.

Came here to say the same as @egrimo - I was going through the same steps yesterday when upgraded my external drive installation from 20B28 (RC2) to 20B29 (Final Release).

Correct steps:

1. First remove Beta Profile (just in case)
2. Go to App Store
3. Search for Big Sur
4. Install

As long as you don't have a beta profile installed it should find the update. Mine did right away when I opened the Software Update preferences pane.

I am having the issue that I was part of the Beta program with RC1 - uninstalled the beta profile, rebooted and searched for it in App store which displays version 11.0.1.

DL, created installer to do clean install but it is the beta version 11.01.1 of Big Sur that downloaded from the App Store which is displayed when I am doing a clean install - you cannot see it is beta until you are doing a fresh install and it displays ‘masOS Big Sur Beta’

How can I get a final release on a Mac that has a beat copy but no Beat profile - this has happened to be twice now

Strange

This is what worked for me. Took longer, but I'm off beta and have the release version now.

Also got my iPhone 12 Pro Max in today. This is one BIG phone. I love it.

That's what helped me:

In Terminal:

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil unenroll

After this, the 2GB update showed up for me.

Mine just started to download without removing the profile.
