Education

Student and teacher purchases

Ableton is happy to support students and teachers, so we offer educational discounts on full-featured, upgradeable versions of Live.

How Ableton educational discounts work:

  1. Check your eligibility here
  2. Buy your Ableton product at the discounted price from your local music store or the Ableton webshop
  3. Verify your educational status (to show us that you really are a student or teacher)
  4. Install and authorize your Ableton product

Please note: The software won't run properly until you've verified your educational status. If you can't wait for the verification process to run its course, use the free 30-day license to make music while we verify. Verification normally takes just one to two days.
