New Bug fix update Live 4.0.4 is online!!!

Post by **Alex** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 11:30 pm

Hi folks,

we just release the latest bug fix update Live 4.0.4.
To get this version please go to the download section of our website:
www.ableton.com/downloads or use the "Check for Updates" function
within Live's help menu.

You DO NOT need to uninstall a previous Live version to install Live 4.0.4. You can install the new version in parallel. Rather the opposite I would recommend to keep your existing Live version until you have checked out Live 4.0.4.

A big THANKS to all participants of our small Live 4.0.4 beta circle!!

Kind Regards,
Alex
