You can see all of the features that were added to Version 4 here:

http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Release_Notes

then make a decision based on that.  However, since Version 3 is not
supported any more, I would definitely recommend an upgrade.

If you really want to just get another version 3 registration code, and you
never purchased or received a free upgrade to version 4, then you should be
able to request a new version 3 registration code for free just by using the
web site.  Just follow the procedures in the Win-Test Easy Registration
Guide <http://bit.ly/registerwt>, starting with Step 4.

I see that the upgrade price is 20 Euros so it’s not too expensive but would

See this post<http://lists.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2009-July/077694.html>
 for tips on migrating your configuration files from Win-Test 3 to Win-Test
4.  It is a cumbersome manual process.  Note that you need a different reg.
key for V4, which you must obtain after installing V4.  Use the traditional
method (Help | Regsiter Software ...).

It should run OK in demo mode without a registration key, but you can always
download and completely reinstall the latest copy of version 3 from

http://download.win-test.com/v3/bin

and try again.
