Am a beginner using Live 11 Suite and its included/bundled Max for Live. While working in Max for Live today, noticed that an update (8.1.10) is available. Since my copy of Max for Live is included/bundled with Live 11 Suite, not a separate installation, is there a way to update Max for Live within the Live Suite? Would I need to install a separate Max for Live version on my computer, set the preferences to point to it, and then update the separately installed version to 8.1.10? Not sure how this is done?
Any help, suggestions appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Yep. Just download and install the Max standalone software, then in Live's "files folders" Preferences you'll find an option to use an external Max build.saratogacoach wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 3:57 pmWould I need to install a separate Max for Live version on my computer, set the preferences to point to it
But if you're not sure why you're doing this then you don't really need to do it, and you can stick to the builtin one.

Thank you for your helpful reply.
Downloaded the separate version, successfully pointed to its folder in Preferences. Looks like all is working.
Best Wishes,
