Unless there is a fine print some where that reads
Available on March 5 ,
but probably may not be downloadable for a while until we get our act together!

Re: Ableton Web Shop is DEAD!
LOL
I don't know what I find more frustrating and irritating - the fact that I can't access my download link, or all the moaning and whining from others who can't access theirs!
I guess I should have foreseen this and held back for a while. Anyone with any sense would know that on Day 1 of the new release the site would be swamped. And I walked right into it
Anyway, thus I learn my lesson. I will go back home tonight and try just to enjoy making music on the software that I have.
.... while checking my email constantly for feedback from the Ableton team

For an extra fifty bucks I sprang for the box. There's no way that DSL can handle a download that size. Besides, the stickers are way cool.

Seems to be working better now, was able to grab Live 9, Max, and the Packs I wanted in about 10 minutes.

Re: Ableton Web Shop is DEAD!
Hmmm ... I wonder if there's a business that could be built around providing temporary additional capacity for sites that expect to experience a spike in user activity (like a new software release, for instance.)

Re: Ableton Web Shop is DEAD!
Been up now for most of the day... Ableton diverted more resources to the website but they should have known that it was going to happen with the interest.
Have to say 'good on them' as I ordered the box and already shipped. Should get maybe Monday.

Re: Ableton Web Shop is DEAD!
How the hell do I choose Paypal as payment method? I have no option but credit card... Do I seriously have to go into the next room to find my card?
Re: Ableton Web Shop is DEAD!
Never mind!!! I went and got my credit card. Thanks a lot.
Re: Ableton Web Shop is DEAD!
I have to say... when I ordered mine this morning I can't remember even seeing a pay by paypal option.
