where are my Suite Instrumensts after upgrade?

Post by Dr Dub » Thu Apr 09, 2009 9:25 pm

I upgraded from Suite 7 to Suite 8, and now i don t see my suite instruments any more in Lives Browser.

This is what Abletons Website says about my License:

License 1
Live 7 (Edu)
Operator (Edu)
Sampler (Edu)
Electric (Edu)
Tension (Edu)
Analog (Edu)
EIC (Edu)
Drum Machines (Edu)
Session Drums (Edu)

License 2
Live 8 (Beta)
Operator (Beta)
Sampler (Beta)
Electric (Beta)
Tension (Beta)
Analog (Beta)
Collision (Beta)
EIC (Beta)
Drum Machines (Beta)
Session Drums (Beta)
Latin Percussion (Beta)

License 3
Live 8 (Upgrade)
Collision
Latin Percussion

So what to do?

well, all the Livepacks are installed, but Live 8 seems to think that i only own Live, Collision and Latin Percussion, not the whole Suite...

OK, good to hear it s not my fault. But it s a bad timing as it is easter so probably they won t help us till Tuesday. Not a perfect start for my Live 8.
I think i will use the Demo mode till then.

Hi,
Has anyone received a reply from support regarding this issue ? I'm experiencing the same problem, but since it's saturday support won't answer.

Thank you.

this seems obvious, but you could try this -
open preferences/user account licenses

click the link in there to visit ableton.com/authorise

and Live will open your browser at the correct page.
Press the button on that page marked "authorise this computer"

and it should do a little dance to authorise those add-on things that are not currently authorised.

of course, you could use the offline version if your music machine is not online.

I think the Auth system changed with 8.02, so it might be worth poking the server just to see what happens.

I have done that as the very first step.

By the way, even though I have just installed Live 8, I have received an email from Ableton informing me that I have reached the maximum allowed authorisations. But it's the very first time I have installed v8. ???

Something is wrong.

Preferences > Authorisation shows:
Live 8
Collision

but I have the whole instruments suite authorised, which shows in my Live 7.

Hi

Don't worry I had the same issue. You need to transfer your Live 8 license to the liscense that contains your suite instruments. Support will do this for you.

You won't see the old 'authorize unlock in Live 8.

Hi

I called customer services, got through immediately, they spotted the issue and five minutes later license (OIC) was transferred. Unlocked again online and all was fine.
