The correct update procedure after buying the suite update

Post by tomoram » Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:42 pm

I posted this before in the Lounge but it got over looked, sorry for reposting but I would like an answer. Thanks...

Some time ago I bought Live 8 download version, after a while I decided to get the Suite version so I bought the upgrade (again download version). When I got the upgrade essentially I get a list of new license codes for all the instruments but no instructions regarding installing them. I figured I had to options, either download all the instruments or just download the suite package, since I I paid for suite I figured that would be the right path to take and this worked just perfectly.

However yesterday I decided to install 8.1.3 so I hit the check for updates button on the help menu and installed the new package. When I then started up 8.1.3 I noticed is was not Live rather than Live Suite which was starting, once it was running I checked and all the Suite instruments but it wasn't Suite edition which was running.

I checked the package I had downloaded and it was the 800mb Live zip rather than the 1.3gb suite zip, I'm assuming because I have the instruments I'm not missing anything unless any of them have been updated and apart from that the only other thing would be library updates. Can anyone confirm if this is true and also whether I should be downloading the Live update or the Live Suite update from now on?

Ok thank you, I've been downloading Suite just incase for the time being. I also just notice that when you got to add/remove programs in the windows XP control panel live installations use about 800mb of data where as suite installations are about 1500mb so there's definitely more stuff being installed with suite.
