quick question about Live

obstacle02 · Post by **obstacle02** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:13 pm

with ableton live, can you install it on multiple computers using the same product key or whatever? or is it one install per purchase or whatever?

also, i had heard some people talking about Live not working with the Novation ReMote SL. anybody heard any different? or is this just a freak occurrence? i mean, in the promo video for the novation ReMote sl compact, they guy is pretty much exclusively using live, so i figure it's probably just a freak occurrence, right?

actually, one more thing that that page didn't quite answer:
let's say i have to uninstall live for some reason, but i got the download version. can i just go back and re-download the install file and use the same key as before?

Yeah but you'll have to use one of your unlocks, Live serial numbers generate different challenge codes which generate different unlock codes each time you want to install live (bleh hope that makes since), so if you have already unlocked twice you may have to e-mail them to get another.

Not true if you use the same computer without changing major hardware. The two unlocks are to prevent that you don't install on several different computers.
