Ableton Forum

Hi, Can anyone from Ableton please advise me on the following:

I'm thinking of buying a new Midi Keyboard Controller, which comes with Ableton Live Lite 9

that can be downloaded via a serial number from the Ableton website.

Thing is, would I be able to upgrade to Ableton Live Lite 10, using the same serial number that comes with the
product I'm purchasing?

Or would I need to wait until the Controller I'm getting ships out with Ableton Live Lite 10?

Hope there's some sold advice on this out there. Thanks

Contact Us | Ableton, go to the sales contact form there.

The forum is very very rarely answered by Ableton officials.

If the product you're looking at is shipped with a license code card, retailers may have stocks equiped with Live Lite 9 licenses for some time.

When I bought a controller keyboard about nine years ago, it shipped with a v4 license. I registered that at Ableton and got a free upgrade to v7 instantly. I still have that Live Lite license in my user account, since I chose a different upgrade path throug Live LE (now Intro). I just looked at that license: It's now got codes for Lite 4, 7, 8 and 10, though curiously not 9.

Thanks CHRK for your helpful reply.
