Earlier versions

[8E]

If one owns license the Suite of 9 or 10, can you use the older versions with that license?

[chrk]

You can only use those earlier versions you have been licensed to. If you have a history of upgrades, all the previous licenses are in your current license chain.

Go to your Abeton user account page, click on the "View license details" link to unfold your upgrade chain. If you've had separate licenses (i.e. bought and registered another one as new), you can chose each chain from the dropdown at the top.

so, if I have license only for Suite 9, I cannot use 8?

Nope.
