Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
Live 8 Suite off an acquaintance - $200
Live 9 Standard upgrade - $159
I was offered $299 for Live 9 Suite, but I can't swing it now. After upgrading to 9 Standard it's still $299. Oh well, I got the features I actually need and ability to use Push.

Have you logged in to your Ableton account?
If you select Live from the top menu you should see upgrade prices at the bottom of the page.

Bought M-Audio Axiom 25 and got Ableton Live 8 Lite with it
Bought upgrade to Live 8 Standard during the time they were offering Live 9 for free before release
Got Live 9 for free when it came out
Eventually, bought Ableton Push for $500 from a cool salesman at my local Guitar Center
Begged Ableton to give me my serial for Live 9 Intro that came with Push so I can use it on my other laptop
I'm waiting for Ableton to have a sale so I can maybe get Live 9 Suite.

It's $239 during the 20% off holiday sale...kultschar wrote:Whats the current / latest upgrade price for Live 8 Suite > Live 9 Suite???
I have Live 8 suite now.
My upgrade price to Live 9 Standard would be $159, but with 20% off for the holidays it's $127. (Non-upgrade price for Live 9 Standard would be $359.)
My upgrade price to Live 9 Suite would be $299, but with 20% off for the holidays it's $239. (Non-upgrade price for Live 9 Suite would be $599.)
I won't be doing either. I already paid for Suite. What's so new in the "suite" part of it that justifies an upgrade price on top of the Live 9 upgrade price? If they offered an upgrade from Live 8 Suite to Live 9 Suite for $127, I'd do it. But they don't.
Too much maintenance cost on top of Logic X update (or full version) being $200 and Komplete 9 update being $150 (though I won't be doing that unless required for Mavericks, because it contains no new version of any of the titles I actually use -- I don't care about Battery 4). Plus I have to shell out $400 to upgrade my ULN-2. OK I'm done venting.
Anyone know what I could get for a Suite 8 license these days?
Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
You get max for live and the new libraries.
But yeah, the upgrading costs of software adds up quickly one reason I dont limit my self to Live and a pair of soft synths.

Re: Post your Live 9 upgrade path and price
Hmm. £87 is not an unreasonable upgrade price. But I'm satisfied with 8.

I'm confused as to why they even show me an "upgrade" path from Suite 8 to Standard 9.
It's also very poor that the comparison chart suggests that Suite 8 --> Standard 9 causes you to lose packs and instruments. I know, I know, there's a post deep in this thread suggesting otherwise, but suppose I need to do a new install? Where will I get the Suite 8 instruments and pack from?
Very bad, Ableton. I'm looking for a new DAW.
