No, you don't need both versions. You can delete 8.1 and keep 8.1.1. But... you might like to hold on to 8.1 for a few days/weeks, just in case, like...

But I mean, will the truncated version of 8.1.1 run fine on it's own?

Can I keep just the 916 MB 8.1.1 folder, and delete the 1.69 GB 8.1 folder? Or do I need to have the 1.69 GB 8.1.1 folder for it to operate fully on it's own? Or...do I need to have the 1.69 GB 8.1 folder for the 916 MB 8.1.1 folder to keep functioning properly?

holy sh....now that was quick...thx to the ableton crew....hope this one works smooth

yeah, what gives with the different sizes?

also, my splash screen is color. isn't it supposed to be black & white?

also, how come you don't just put the download page link in these posts anymore?

also, what does it sound like...when doves cry?

^^

cooo coooo waaaah cooo coooo waaaah

..

So is it safe to update to Max 5.1.1 now?

Still getting the C++ visual runtime errors here when i change sets. FFS!!! i guess i'm going to have to start bug reporting. Where are the crash logs stored and where do i send them This is just ridiculous.

Does the bigger one include the library content? Both are the same size in my ableton folder.

I would guess that the difference between the full and truncated versions of 8.1.1 is that the full one updates a bunch of samples that were also updated in the same way in 8.1. So if you are going from 8.0 to 8.1.1, you need to install the full version; if you're going from 8.1 to 8.1.1, you don't.

That's my guess; perhaps someone from Ableton will confirm it.

If my speculation is correct, the answer is no.

Thats the way to go abes!

A bugs list long as hell!

Mr. Stable here we come.......!

Happy New Year 2010 Team Ableton!

every version of ableton installs separately, so you don't need live 8.1 to use 8.1.1. however, if you have the suite version installed of 8.1, you may just want to download the smaller file verison of 8.1.1 as you already have the suite installed and do not need to download it again. hope that makes sense

You have the normal version with "everything unlocked" which is the same as Suite WTF I don't get it either, anyway I like the coloured screen better

i think Ableton deserve a Clap ! thanks for redjusting your internals at HQ and getting back on the ball. Can we have the sync issues fixed next please.

Updated just now ..

Still crashing when adding new audio track !
