As a beta version, this update is only available by manual download and installation. To download, go to your WPML account and click on Downloads.
If you have a Multilingual CMS account, you will see a CMS Beta Package download. Download it and unzip. The download includes ZIP files of all of WPML’s components. You need to update all WPML components that you are using (it’s not possible to run a site with a mixture of old and new versions).
