Released Managed Package vs Beta Managed Package

Hi,

I have few questions regarding the Managed Packages

Beta Managed Package
1) Can we install the beta managed package in the production org which is a enterprise edition?

2) If yes, then what are the disadvantages if we install it in Production org?

Release Managed Package

1) Can we bypass the Appexchange upload of the app an install the Released managed package in Production org using the URL link?

2) If yes, still do we need to go through all the security reviews for the app?

3) Can we push the patches to the production org using the Released managed package even if the app doesnt have the security review?

Please let me know if anyone has any idea on this

Thanks

You can't install a managed beta into a production org - only sandbox and developer orgs.

Release Managed Package


1) You can't bypass the upload, but you don't have to turn it into a public listing.  Once you have uploaded the package you can install directly from the package URL.  Obviously potential purchasers wouldn't be able to find this on the app exchange.

2) You don't need to go through the security review for this.

3) You can't push patches to a package that isn't a public listing (which means going through the security review). You are limited to upgrades.
