Ableton Forum

Ive got Ableton 8 suite. I use it on multiple computers so I have needed to use more than one of my license keys. Can I purchase more license keys? Where? How much?

IIRC the Ableton license allows two installs but only one use at a time.

There is no way to de-authorize your old machines, but if you decommission one of those and need another unlock for whatever reason, send an email to [email protected] and explain the situation to them. I've had to do this a few times as I switched computers, and they've always been very helpful. I would imagine you will only need to purchase more keys if you want more than two concurrent installs or using more than one of them at a time.

More info is on the FAQ here if you want!

yeah, I would be wanting to use more than one at a time. Where would I go to learn more about getting additional licenses?

How could Ableton tell if you're using more than one at a time ? I don't think there's anyway they can, provided you don't go online with both of them...

But anyway, from http://www.ableton.com/pages/faq/license#faq_1_link :

"You can install Live on two of your own computers (Mac, PC or both) if you have registered your serial number on our registration page and you will not be using both computers at the same time.

If you want to run Live on several machines simultaneously, or if your personal hardware set-up includes more than two computers, you can purchase each additional license for half the price of a standard full version.

If you send us your address, your registered Live serial number and what you want to order, we can process your order right away.

Please write to [email protected] or send a fax to 0049 30 288 763 13."

I have the suite. Is it possible to just get the regular version for the other computer and pay less for the license?
