I'm currently running Live 8 Suite. I'd like to upgrade to 9 Standard as I'm unsure if I actually need the suite but don't want to lose all the suite content for 8 for now, just in case.
Will I still be able to use full Live 8 Suite after installing 9 Standard? Not at the same time of course.
Thanks.
Upgrade to standard from suite.

Re: Upgrade to standard from suite.
Yeah. In the 9 Browser, 9 material is the default for everything, and in the lower 'Places' section of the browser, everything from 8 will be there untouched for your browsing pleasures.
Then you'll still be able to open Live 8 without issue.
Or open anything you already own from Suite, in 9 Standard as long as it is already installed.
Plus you keep your 8 Suite devices (Analog, Operator, etc). You just don't get to download the new Suite 9 material.
Still, on their site, if you go to 'Packs' while logged in, there will be a lot of material that you can download. There is even a filter option for 'My Packs'.
What I'd do is look up an image search for the Live 9 browser and see if you can spot any images with the 8 Library intact on there. It'll also give you a glimpse of the browser for seeing if you'll be a fan or not haha (be warned, when you first Open 9, it'll take a lot of time scanning your 'Places'. Make sure you have time set aside for your computer to crunch away at it

Okay great. Thanks for the comprehensive response!
Pretty sweet if from within 9 Standard I'll still have access to all of 8 Suite, especially instruments. In any case, as long as I can still open 8 with everything there I'm happy.
Thanks for your help.

You don't loose your instruments from the live8 suite, operator, Tension, collision, analogue... or the drum maschine pack. Because they have all a separate license number, take a look into your ableton account. Last year I went from live 8 suite to live 9 standard too and all my instruments and packs from live 8 suite are now integrated into my live 9 standard. The only thing I dont have now, is M4L and this big orchestra thing, but I dont have a use for it.
