I found out that many older VST plugins I cannot use in Live. I have installed Rosette but when scanning it doesn't show up. In Reaper however those plugins do show up. Any idea what I can do to solve this issue?

Could you share any examples of plugins? You also have to start Ableton in Rosetta mode, see:

rosetta mode should work for AU plugins using live native version

I am contacting Ableton support.
