Pretty self explanatory, but I'll lay it out anyway.

So I just bought Live 7 Suite after spending a month or two learning how to use the program through the demo. I've created a bunch of quick small ditties that I've saved that I'd love to use with the full version. However, I know of other DAW's that make it so your demo projects won't work once you upgrade to the paid version. Is this the case with live?

(also, I realize that, worse comes to worse, I could just export the MIDI data and put it back in to the new copy, but that would take so much longer.)

Thanks in advance.

stuff saved in Live 7 should work. Live 6 and previous demos will not.

anything made in live 6 should work too.

isn't only that Live is not backwards compatible? I have no clue about the demos, they're standard material AFAIK. won't Live 6 demos work in Live 7 but Live 7 demos won't work in Live 6?

I think they're all updated and available for every version regardless.
Live 7, 6 and 5 demos are here

forget Live 6 material, use Live 7 material.

yeah, I think you're right, I meant the other way around as John and TD noted.

Need some Zzzzzs.
