Hi there,
I also got the "invalid product ID" problem, so I was glad to see that a new beta version will fix this.
However I searched the whole forum for at least one hour now but I could not find a spot where to download beta versions.
So where can I download the beta versions ?
I just have found a thread saying "go to http://www.ableton.com/beta" - doing this I can only see a website saying "beta testing is over, thank you" - but the latest post here is just a few days old, pretty confusing.

I would really appreciate having a decicated download website for betas and all available versions for all users with a registered Ableton product, good spot would be somewhere the "Download" area on the Ableton website.

Searching the forum is not very confortable anyway and having to search the whole forum just to find a download link for an officially anounced beta is really frustrating.

By the way I spent more than 3 hours today searching the web / the forum trying to find solutions for other issues in my Live 8 installation - I haven't got the chance to make one single second of music today using Live.
I didn't buy Live to test software, I bought live to make music !

(My Live 7 was a lot more reliable and stable.)

Hi MoB148,

we constantly release new beta versions.
