DEVONthink 4 Suddenly Doesn't Work

May 6, 2025 — Eric Böhnisch-Volkmann

Starting the last week of April, DEVONthink 4.0 Beta 1 could suddenly ask for a license code just to then reject the entered license code. Of course, the public betas of DEVONthink 4.0 are free to use and don’t need any license code to operate! This is a bug in the first beta and we have already fixed it in the second beta.

Please download DEVONthink 4 Beta 2 from our website. Then quit your copy of DEVONthink 4 and replace it with the new copy. Open it and it should now happily work again.

Please accept our apologies for these inconveniences.
