When you go on tour, consider taking along your Live USB installer and a backup of the last state of your Live Set(s). You cannot, however, save or export your work. Ableton offers these licenses at special rates.ģ.1.4 Can I Play my Set from a Computer That Is Not Authorized?Įven if Live is not authorized, you can still load and perform a Live Set with no time limitation. To use Live on more than one computer at a time, you may require a secondary license or a site license. Should the Ableton server reject your demand for another authorization, please contact Ableton’s technical support *. You can therefore run Live on both a studio desktop computer and a tour laptop, but not at the same time.
However, the Ableton server will provide you with two authorizations in good faith that you will use Live on only one machine at a time. The standard Live license allows you to use Live on only one computer at a time. On some computers, reformatting a hard drive will require a new authorization.ģ.1.3 Can I Authorize Live More than Once? But you may need to authorize again if the motherboard, processor or network card is replaced. Live does not need to be reauthorized when computer peripherals are replaced (audio or MIDI hardware, printers, modems). If you change your computer components for some reason, Live may indeed ask you to authorize the software another time. It also offers you the opportunity to buy Ableton products online.ģ.1.2 What if I Change My Computer’s Components? This site contains information about Ableton’s distributor and dealer network. If trying Live or another product raises your interest in purchasing it, please visit the Ableton webshop *. If you do not (yet) own Live or its add-on products, you can still try them out, but saving and exporting will be disabled. If you do not have an internet connection, press the “No internet on this computer“ button and follow the instructions.ģ.1.1 Can I Use Live or Other Ableton Products Without a Serial Number? If the computer that you wish to authorize is connected to the internet, you can authorize immediately by pressing the appropriate button in the dialog box. The software will walk you through the steps. The first time you run Live, you will be prompted to complete the authorization process. You can, however, authorize Live more than once under the legal and technical conditions described later ( see 3.1). Please be aware that the standard Live license grants you the right to use Live on only one computer at a time. If you find this procedure to be an inconvenience, please understand that the copy protection secures your investment: It allows Ableton to provide you with support and to continue developing Live. This scheme has been designed to meet the highest security standards while avoiding hassles for our customers. Live is protected against illegal use by a copy protection scheme.
