Ableton Forum

Hello,

I just finished my Trial version and bought the Standard one.

I tried to open one of the songs I did

Firstly, when I open it, it says:

This set contains features that are limited or unavailable in Ableton Live 10 Standard.

Details: The instrument "Tension" is not available.
The following devices cannot be used: Echo.
I can "Close the set" or "Continue". Let's go with "Continue".*

Not a red bar appears at the bottom of the window saying I can't edit nor save my project!

What can I do in order to recover my work and go on with this project?

Thanks a lot...

The trial version of Live I believe is the full Suite version so there will be content that is not available in the Standard version.

I guess if you are able to actually open the project you would need to remove the offending devices that are not available then replace them with something similar you have that is available.

Either open that set and commit the offending tracks to audio, or buy the Suite version, I guess. You can probably freeze and flatten, and just be done with it. Unless Echo is on an aux track, then you'll need to record.

Seems to be the only solution... Can I do it from the Standard version or I need to install the Trial one again?

not export, record in realtime. route the track with Tension to another audio track and record the resulting audio on that track. you can do the same with the track Echo is on.
if you just gotten into Live, it might seem daunting, but you can route about anything to other tracks. Open the in/out view and route away.

edit: mmm, while I was typing you edited your post. so flattening won't work. Well, then see what I just suggested... does that work?

You need to delete every not supported plug-in. Copy all tracks and paste them in new project and save the project same as your original project to replace the original.

I solved this by following the instructions in this article: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... eactivated

TLDR:
0. Figure out which devices are not allowed (it shows you a list when you open the project)
1. Remove the Suite-only devices from the Set
2. Re-authorize Live from Preferences > Licenses/Maintenance > Authorize at ableton.com
3. Export/Save now works
