Sorry, my only whish is to help, but the preceding message means that I absolutely don't understand what you are asking for. What do you mean by "already installed" ? In my knowledge, any software you buy has to be installed by you on your computer....
Please clarify your question and I'm willing to help.

regards,

it all cool bud , its all gravy and squirells.

anyway does it come already installed, when i buy something i dont want to have to install it so i usually get stuff thats already installed before i buy it and uninstall the version that has been reinstalled by the people i bought the program off, I hope this makes it clearer, i just hope i can do this with ableton live,

already installed?

what the hell are you talking about.
if you buy software, YOU install it.
unless you buy a COMPUTER with software already installed (such as the operating system, word processing application, picture viewer, etc.)

so yea, what the hell are you talking about?

stop using the words "already" and "installed".
now try to explain to us what you are asking, as if we were 3rd graders, and you aren't allowed to use those words.

geez man, sorry to make you angry

i was just hoping that buy getting something already installed on my computer i could avoid reinstalling the version that came with the box. This means that when i uninstall the version that is pre installed, i dont get bugs. does this make sense,

How do you want it to be already installed on your computer? You go to sleep, when you wake up a little genius has performed the install for you ?
I really don't get you, sorry.

The only way I see this being possible is you are buying a computer from a DAW builder and want to know if they can install Live for you.

no no guys its really simple, sorry to get you angry

my computer isnt new, but i install live via a network that was presinstalled with a version of live that was bough last year. Now by uninstalling the preinstall of live and resinstalling the boxed version that came with the sticker, i can now uninstall the reinstall, I can see I'm not making much sense here. I will design you a flow chart to explain better. back in a minute
stuffs always easier when its drawn i find

and the live5 beta, was it preinstalled from a network that last year installed a beta that you could now uninstall to uinstall a fresh box into the network that you bought last year ? Or did you simply download it as we all did and reported bugs on the forum as we did and will uninstall it to reinstall the final release as we may all do?

Who's caught by emissary ? I was.....
