How open Max in standalone

Hi,
is it possible somehow to open Max in standalone without passing through Ableton?
I have tried to open directly Max.app in Contents->App-Resources-Max (MacOS) but it loads without license activated (so saving is disabled). Only when opening it thorugh a M4L device in Ableton the license loads correctly.

Any clue?

Max standalone and Max for Live are two different licenses.
But as you noticed, you can always use Ableton to "cheat" with it. You should take this "secret" hack as a bonus.

I alway thought that when buying Ableton I am also buying a Max license, isn't that right? Since Max is bundled with Ableton
