Downloading specific earlier versions of Live?

Post by sporkles » Mon May 31, 2021 9:13 pm

Are specific point versions of Live available for download? If I, say, want 10.1.25 instead of the latest Live 10, which is 10.1.35.

I recently bought a new computer, and was kind of intent on "starting from scratch" by finally switching to Live 11 - I’ve been hesitant because I can’t use NativeKontrol Arsenal and ClyphX pro scripts with my Launch Control XL and Launchpad Pro anymore because of Ableton’s move to Python 3, from what I understand. But I also read on the NK forum that support was dropped with 10.1.30, so if I decide to stick with L10, I’ll be forced to dig out an old installer and go through umpteen auto-updates if I can’t get a specific version from Ableton’s site.

I tried it out Live 11, and I really miss my controller setups, but I’m not sure what’s more of a hassle here…

They don't put public links in the download archive, I think you can just rename the "cdn" link to the number you want (simply changing 35 to 25 in all places of the URL).

Hmm, couldn't quite figure out how to actually get to the URL, though. The download button doesn't really reveal any URL...

In Chrome I go to the Downloads history (ctrl+J on Windows) to check the URL (after I cancelled the download I didn't really wanted). May vary in other browsers and OSes.

You can also ask support@ableton.com if the magic trick doesn't work for you.

Sure, but that wouldn't give me the satisfaction of doing something that feels slightly naughty. Or slightly magic. :P

But thanks, the magic trick worked :wink:
