there are probably 2 live applications, are you launching the correct one?

does it say max for live on the right hand side?

then, max instruments/effects should be with all of the normal plugs/instruments. so, wherever you would find impulse and the likes, you should see an option for max stuff

I am also having the same issue. I am unable to see max for live after I did the install and authorize. When I authorize it doesn’t authorize max for live. I am using version 8.5. It appears when I did the max install link I was directed to it only installed Max 5 and only two links came from that on desktop. max runtime and max 5.0. Anyone has a fix to this?

hi,

I have the same issue, on a macbook. Now I just have seen in a different thread someone wrote that you should try to use safar instead of firefox when authorizing. I will try later when at home and report back.

I beleive that you can only use maxforlive with ableton 8.1 beta version. I found a link to download 8.1beta and was able to unlock. I figured they would allow us to use it in there most recent update ableton 8.05

hello all,

i'm having a similar problem here. i installed live (8.1b4) and max (5.1.0a1) betas, authorized online, but max for live is not showing under the preferences or even in the authorization preference pane (in software instruments). i also don't see the max application location in the file/folder tab in live's preferences.

i'm running snow leopard in a mac book pro and running out of ideas for how to solve this…

Same Here, Just installed and got nothing in File/folder tab in Pref panel. Nothing in Software instruments either. Anyone from Cycling 74 or Ableton know why this would be?

Im running Ableton 8.1b4 and Max 5 latest on a macbook pro Intel core 2 duo 2.33ghz running 10.4.11

It needed re-authorization, now it's fine. Even if it does not complain about authorisation it might need it...

cheers
