I just purchased Ableton Live Suite 8 and I don't see the Max for Live plugins in Ableton?! Any help would be much appreciated!

so how do i get it to work in suite 8? i downloaded the max 5 demo and I only have two options.

Run

Ableton Suite 8
or
Ableton Suite 8 + Max For Live (without Authorization) ??

WHY CANT I USED MAX FOR LIVE WITH AUTHORIZATION? I have a fully authorized copy of ableton and yet I don't get the option to use the max for live content...? :(

After installing Max you need a license to use it - You need a Max license to run it stand alone or a Max for Live license to run it inside Live.

For Live 8 you need to purchase a Max for Live license as a separate item. In Live 9 it is included in the suite price.

If you bought Live 8 suite since Live 9 was announced you will get a free upgrade to 9 suite when it comes out AFAIK

You just purchased Ableton Live Suite 8? But not Max for Live (which uses Max but is different from Max)? Am I reading that correctly?

As I said Max is not Max for Live - read here: http://cycling74.com/faq-maxforlive/

Max for Live is not included in Live Suite in version 8. It is included in Live 9 Suite when it is released. If you just bought Suite 8 then you will have an automatic free upgrade to Live 9 Suite with included Max for Live.

I don't know if there is a trial version of Max for Live... Perhaps that is the 'without authorisation' option, but don't worry, your suite authorisation is still valid. When Live 9 is released you will be ble to download and use Max for Live, fully authorised.

I'm running 8.3.4 if that helps with the newest demo of Max5 (which includes max for live which I installed.)

Try to sign in to the Live 9 beta and you will be able to use Live suite with m4l !
