Ableton Forum

I had asked for a rent to own policy. However, it is not benefiting a hobbyist like me, who wants to upgrade from Live12 Standard.
I guess there may be quite few peeps like me. I just don't understand. What would I do with my Standard license? What part of the market was this designed for?

You would like to upgrade from your current L12 Standard to L12 Suite via the rent-to-own, is that right?
At the moment rent-to-own doesn't work with upgrading to a higher edition.
An option in your situation could be to sell your current license to someone else.

Thanks, but I have never done this before. Will have to do some research.

Didn't you notice the recent sales? I think that was one of the biggest discount Ableton has ever offered.
It's ended a few days ago, though.

Was too busy. Just saw it when it ended.

Getting pitched on this again. Might this indicate an issue with sales? Might that indicate an issue with overall pricing?

No, just a reminder. Ableton is a company that sells products, what's wrong in pitching offers?

Good news, just noticed. My upgrade from my Live Suite 11 to 12 is now available as rent-to-own.

That's really great bc I was hesitant to pay the full price as rent-to-own and hesitant to justify spending at a time 200 EUR on upgrade.

Now upgrade rent-to-own is same monthly fee, 25 EUR but for 8 months only instead of 24 months.

Getting it straight away!!! Thank You Ableton!!!
