Ableton Live 8 Suite + Max for Live upgrade to Suite 9

Post by thecageofconsent » Thu Oct 25, 2012 3:06 pm

Excited about Live 9.

Quick question. Some of use own Suite 8 and Max for Live. Now that Max is going to come with Suite 9, I feel a little cheesed off that we're not being shown upgrade love as existing owners of Max.

I've been quoted 199 euro to upgrade to Suite 9. MY ownership of Max doesn't seem to enter into the equation.

Anybody else feel like this?

Surely that's not right. I also have Ableton Suite and Max for Live (and i've barely ever even touched max for live) Surely the upgrade to Live 9 Suite will only be a few bucks for people in our boat. Where did you see that?

It does enter into it - Suite 8 owners who don't have M4L are being asked for 249 euros.

It still sucks that Live 8 owners get to upgrade for 149 Euros though.

Umm, that's gotta be a mistake. I can buy Live Suite 9 straight up for $337 but i need to pay $234 to upgrade?
Even Native Instruments wouldn't do shit like that. This is how ableton treats its loyal customers??

for my account the upgrade is listed as 299 euros... is that correct? - I already own Live 8 Suite and M4L (although listed as a Max/MSP 6 crossgrade).

I also have 8 Suite + M4L.. Never use M4L though.

Would it be better to sell it all together, then buy 8 Suite again with the discount, and then get Suite 9 as a free upgrade?

:D

I wrote them a letter about this live 8 suite to live 9 suite upgrade pricing. That's rediculous. We have given them more money already and we're treated like this? wrong

I own Suite 8 and Max For Live. My upgrade price to LIve 9 Suite is listed as $234. However, I noticed that in my account my Max For Live license is missing! Could you other Suite 8 and M4L owners check their accounts and see if their M4L license is listed. Maybe this is why the upgrade price is so steep - it doesn't "see" our M4L licenses?

Your Max for Live license isn't listed? Check again to make sure you're logged in and that you don't have multiple license paths in the account. If that's the case and you still see something missing, then please contact Ableton customer care at http://ableton.com/support/contact

How exactly is it supposed to appear?

For example under "Your Account" my Suite 8 download license is shown as Suite 8 Download
and only when I click on view license details does it list a M4L serial number alongside the others.

Is that correct?

edit -

As the other poster said, it shows up under the license details but does not show up under any 'pack' listing with an icon

My mistake - it was included in the dropdown "license details". But certainly $234 can't be the correct upgrade price? Looking at the forum it seems that the price to upgrade for owners of Suite 8 and Max For Live is actually MORE than upgrades from 8 standard? That doesn't seem right.

Can you comment David?
