Already bought Live 5; can I still buy Operator for $99?

Arpeggio · Post by **Arpeggio** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 6:14 pm

Last Sunday, I upgraded to Live 5 from Live 4. I was tempted to get Operator for only an additional $99(USD), but since I have a lot of soft synths already, I decided against it. Now, a week later, after learning about and trying the Covert Operators patches and witnessing how well Operator integrates in Live 5, I really wish that I had taken advantage of that deal. Since I upgraded to Live 5 during the offer and since it's still before July 31st (the last day of the deal), is it still possible for me to purchase Operator for $99? If so, how? I've looked around, but I don't see anything that will allow me to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's best to contact the Ableton sales staff.
They will evaluate your case and let you know. They are working over the weekend i think. So i would contact them ASAP.

Go to the Operator page, enter your Live 5 serial number and the price should be listed right there.

I did this, and unfortunately, it lists Operator for $149.

Yeah...
Well, I just tried it and it said Operator "wasn't available" to me.
[insert weepy emoticon]

I'm sure they'll sort it out.

Just in case anyone from Ableton is on here today. I e-mailed [email protected] yesterday right after making my original post, but I have not heard back from them yet.

I was wondering the same thing. I ordered the boxed set upgrade but meant to order the boxed set with Operator upgrade special. I wrote them this morning, but as it is a weekend I doubt I will hear from them before the offer expires tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed.
