Is anybody else still seeing "Your Mac is up to date" with Mojave, even with a fully functional Apple Developer Seed Profile? I have been itching to try it but still no luck. Has the rollout been particularly slow, or am I missing something? Thanks.
Wow, that did it! Can't believe it was that simple.Try re-installing your beta profile issued to you for Catalina.

I got eMails inviting me to "reapply/join" the "Catalina" Beta Programs for macOS and tvOS. As I went through the steps I got new "activation" number, although they activated themselves. But it was a bit of a "Start Over" kinda thing . . .
An activation number for Catalina? I never heard of an Activation number for Mac OS, OSX, Mac OS, System Software, Apple IIGS OS, or Apple OS....?

How to get Catalina, the nerd's way
(Warning! "Don't risk your Mac or its data just to try out the macOS Catalina beta")
- check your update catalog with
Default catalog, regular updates, should returnCode:sudo defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
- set the CatalogURL for 10.15 Beta
- create /Users/Shared/.SeedEnrollment.plist with this contentCode:sudo /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --set-catalog https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.15seed-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz

"The Apple Developer Program annual fee is 99 USD"I mean, this is a great insight into the software-updater tool's way of checking beta enrolment and such... But I think I'll just stick to downloading the enrolment profile off Apple.

Thanks. Tried this but still not liking it at all, still showing that I'm 'up to date'. Any ideas of anything else to try?MacOS Catalina Public Beta

Haven't figured out how to do this yet. Still get "Your Mac is up to date" with Mojave also.Try re-installing your beta profile issued to you for Catalina.
