Hi pwal,

Interesting! does your SE W910i appear as a USB network adapter,
or does it use some other bus? Do you use it as such, or only for
playing back MP3s?

Jarvisimon, Ableton has a rather modest-sized development team doing all the work on the software itself. There really is nothing else for us to do than "get around to it when we can", and that's exactly what we're doing - all of us are fixing bugs right now. We've always tried to fix as m...

Hi again, I just installed 8.0.1 on my personal laptop and successfully authorized Live using an .auz file. Dragging it on the dialog seems to work. Are you sure the hardware code in the .auz file's name is correct? You can find out your hardware code by going to the preferences, clicking the "...

Hi Vektar,

May I ask you what you mean by "Keep opening the activation dialog"?
Do you mean that that dialog comes back every time you start Live?

Cheers,

Carl

Hi Jarvisimon, I would say: let the tradition live on! If I may simplify a little, our general policy is to never promise anything but always do our best to deliver great software. We've always been committed to fixing bugs and provide regular updates, we shipped 11 bugfix updates with Live 6 and 15...

Hi guys, With 8.0.1, we did a slight change in the way the network adapter counts as part of the hardware code to make life easier for those who only temporarily connect a USB network adapter for unlocking and then remove it again. USB adapters on PC are simply ignored. Any other non-USB hardware ad...

Hi Cryo, How much space left do you have on the partition where your preferences are stored? While you work, Live stores all your actions in a file called Undo.cfg, so that if Live crashes, it can restore things to where they were right before the crash. This file can get really big sometimes - mayb...

Hi Arnold-Rimmer, The only possibility I could see is if you can connect your studio computer at least once to the Internet. Then you could get the authorization to save, and leave Live running for 2 weeks. It's a bit hacky, but we did design the system so that it required as few connections as poss...

Also note that there is no need to unlock the demo itself:
simply click one of the "Try" buttons, and off you go!

Hi laird, The procedure you describe is for unlocking a product, but the trial is not a product: you can think of your trial serial number as an authorization to save your work for 14 days. Live needs an explicit authorization from ableton.com once per session before anything can be saved or exporte...

Hi all, Indeed, in order to save your work with the new trial version, you need to have a connection to the Internet, because the authorization to save comes from our server. You can still use the trial if you don't have an Internet connection, though, you simply won't be able to save (this is the o...

Hi decrepitude,

Track routing is not a limitation of the trial. Actually, I did that at home this week-end with that version, so I'm curious about your particular setup. Could you send me your Live Set?

Cheers,

Carl

This affects PC users only. On Mac, just keep on smiling!

Carl

So you mean you had all that, and it's gone?

The presets are stored in your Library. Could it
be that your library is located on a removable
medium that's not there at the moment?

Carl

Hi FavoriteStation,

Did you install the content packs for the instruments?
Take a look at our Live Packs download
page, where you should find all the standard presets.

Cheers,

Carl
