I've been on Live Suite for too long to remember excactly, but I think there's an option in the License/Maintenance Preferences to temporarily switch your Live installation to full Suite capability. Minus saving! - So don't try this on any sets and projects you're working on you haven't realiably backed up.

If you hadn't use the Suite trial you may be able to activate it, after installing it.

I love electric by the way, to me it sounds better than sampled based e pianos, it is very very playabale, you get different "models" on a single instrument (from rhodes mark i to wurlz). it is the instrument I use more from suite and feel absoutely no need to look for something better,

By the way Electric is basssically the "Lounge lizard" plug in from AAS (applied acoustic systems), I think it was incroporated in to live around Loung Lizard version 2, since then Lounge Lizard have had 2 updates, I don't think the sound is much different at all and I personally don't care for the extra features it has. But if you want to check out the latest you can dowload a demo from AAS.

the electric pianos from Soniccouture are also very good if you are after stuff with lots of character (EP73 Deconstructed and Broken Wurli). there are Kontakt versions as well as a combined Live pack version (Rhodes + Wurli). i'm not sure if the Live pack contains all the samples that the two separate Kontakt packs have though.

for playability the electric pianos in Pianoteq are my favourite (also modelled, not sampled)...
