Hyper Real pack

Post by ampism » Thu Jul 07, 2022 4:09 pm

I just downloaded the Hyper Real pack free demo, but I'm getting an error message saying the pack is corrupt, and it won't open. I'm running AL Suite 11, on a 2015 Macbook Pro.
Might it be the case that this pack won't open unless I have 11.1?
And if so, is it possible to have 11.1 running as well as 11, so that I can just use 11.1 for this Hyper Real pack and revert back to 11 for all my existing projects? I don't want to upgrade to 11.1 at this point - too many important project nearing completion to risk it.
But I'm very curious about the Hyper Real pack

Any help/advice would be very much appreciated

cheers!

Yep, L11.1 minimum is required.
You can indeed have several Live versions installed, no problem.

Cool, thanks for your response.

Sorry for dumb question, but installing 11.1 isn't the same as installing a whole new Live though, correct? Like going from 10 to 11, say?
So just to confirm ,if I update to 11.1, that won't just update my existing 11.0 ? It will install a different version of Live that I can use independently of version 11.0?

If you update your L11.0... you're updating it, so it will become L11.1.x
In your situation what you need to do is to manually download and install L11.1.
You'll then have 2 different Live versions in your applications folder.

Gotcha. So this? : https://www.ableton.com/en/account/

I'm confused about the difference between "upgrade" and "update"...

Simply download the installer provided in your account...

Again, thanks for taking the time to help.

However, you make it sound like it's very simple, but it really isn't.

If I go here: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... lling-Live

and then click on "Step 1 - download the Live installer", then it takes me here:

https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... ownloading

which clearly says that it's version 11.0.

Hopefully someone at Ableton support will get back to me soon...

Ok, I have found the relevant installer for 11.1.

Is it definitely safe to just rename my existing version (11.0), without any risk of losing projects/files etc, before I install 11.1?

And, just to double-check; as long as I have renamed the application that I already have, then the 11.1 version will NOT override/replace that version?

Yep, just rename either as you like and you'll be fine (i.e no version will be erased) ;-)
Just be aware that Sets created in L11.1 won't open in the older L11.0
