Hi!

I have a question; I'm a owner of a apple g4 powerbook on wich i want to run live 4. This powerbook has no internet. So i unlocked live 4 on my windows pc (wich has internet), and i printed down the unlock key.

Now my problem! I've unlocked live 4 on the powerbook using the manual printed code (unlock key), and now after shutting it down. Every single time the powerbook requires the installation cd for starting live 4?! :?:

Does this means i always have to use the live installation cd to start up live 4 on my powerbook?

Please help!

peace...

Can't you just plug your computer into the internet somewhere temporarily to unlock the software? That's what I did with my studio computer and iBook. I also think that Ableton doesn't mind as long as you own both machines.

Hi sinosphere,

This is probably not related to the unlocking.
Can you explain a bit more "how" the Ableton Live CD is required?

regards,
Alex
