My studio is gone... HELP

Post by LucasS » Mon Jan 16, 2006 8:06 pm

My best mate and I used you buy all of our music equipment together, we had a pretty decent studio and stuff. Speakers, Mics, Mixer, Software, ETC...
Everything was going the way we wanted, however last month I had to go out of town for a couple of weeks, and when I got back he was gone... all the equipment was gone... but a note saying "I'm sorry dude".
:cry:

Anyway
Even though we both pay for Live 5, he talked me into getting Live5 register under his name (I really trusted him). We installed live5 on two computers, thankfully he couldn't take one of 'em, because I had it.

I'm currently running Live 5.0.1, but would like to upgrade it to 5.0.3. As I have already said the copy is register under his name, hence I don't know if I'd be able to upgrade it or not... I don't even know if he's sold it or not... he probably did :cry:
My questions are...
Would I be able to upgrade it?
What if he sold it?

P.S- I still have the serial number

so far i know the licence is intended for one user only, not 2 or more.
I have my copy, my studio mate has his own.

1: if it's in his name, thats it. sorry but you will have to buy another copy.

2: I'm a peaceful guy, but if I was in your position I would get very violent on this "friend" of yours. I've been robbed before and got my stuff back.

Be careful trusting the girlfriend. :?
Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.

imo you should be able to at least download all the updates, however I'm not sure about it.

Post his name, any picutures you have, his mother's phone number and anything else. Do you have ANY idea where he went?

Walker will find him, and teach us all a valuable civics lesson in the process.


I'd hunt the fucker down, kick his ass in a most unfair way and pin that note into his forehead.

damn dude you need to kill that son of a b****. IF any of my mates did that to me, I'd make sure they got put away for as long as possible, not to mention a good beating.

Hopefully someone will find him for you and kick his ass.

'I need to upgrade Live that was registered in someone else's name'

Maybe you're the thief and one of us will go home to find our flatmate hoarked our gear.
