Finally upgrading from LIve 8 LIte to Suite but I have ????s

[falgorian]

I just made a purchase from zZounds for my Suite 8 upgrade and they state that since I purchased it now, I have up until March 31st to upgrade it further to Live 9. I have a desktop with Windows XP, and a laptop with Windows 8. Would I have access to Live 8 for my windows xp and Live 9 to windows 8? Or is it a situation of, once I upgrade, it's too late? As far as I read, I don't believe Live 9 is supported by Windows XP so I just want to make sure that I'm able to make some music at home, and while I'm at work.

Dumb question: How much better is Ableton Live 8 Suite compared to Ableton Live 8 lite?

I use Live 9 quite happily on my XP PC. I am sure XP is officially supported.
