look under system settings>general>software update: click the "i" next to Beta updates, and there should be the option to select the sonoma beta...

sign in at the apple beta site, & make sure you're still signed up. and which mac is this? perhaps not supported...?...
Thanks again, but I really would like to know if anyone can confirm that I should be able to go from Ventura beta to Sonoma beta...
However, I would really appreciate if someone can confirm if it is actually possible to upgrade fra a Ventura beta to Sonoma beta.
The Sonoma developer preview IS showing under software update.
Thanks. Nothing has changed in the developer account enrollment...

Yes, I didšš» And I used the method I described above, when - same as you, that option was not available when I tried to update in Ventura 13.5 beta 2. Clicking on the "i" allowed me to choose Sonoma.

OP:
Not sure if this will help, but I think you can also get a direct download of the Sonoma installer here:

Sonoma Developer Preview is the one you'd want to install if you're looking to upgrade from a Ventura beta to Sonoma beta. Once installed, then Software Update will list it as "macOS Sonoma Developer Beta".
Thank you, for trying to contribute.
The Sonoma beta is showing in the liste of betas, but there is no option to install/download. The note in the "update windows" states that I am currently running the latest version (Ventura 13.5). Not able to share screen-shot since I am currently traveling.
CAN you? Absolutely. But at this point itās only available over the air to people signed in with an Apple Dev Account. Public Beta isnāt out yet. Iām actually planning on upgrading from the latest 13.5 beta to 14, either today or this week when thereās hopefully beta2.
Thereās a more complicated way involving the macOS 14 beta .ipsw file and restoring it, like an iPhone.
Yes, and the Somona beta is offered, but I can not install it.
Do you know if the beta would be shown as in the screenshot if I did not have a developer account, or there is something wrong with the set-up?
I have always understood (in spite of what @gank41 said) that to upgrade to new major version required a non-beta of the current version - I may be wrong. But you can download the full install app of the beta and do a full installation over the top of your current beta.
I did say I might be wrong
Should have read my earlier postš±
