ableton licence question

[dan the acid man]

right, im thinking of buying ableton live.

now if i buy a copy and install it on my main pc, then install a copy onto a laptop aswell, will i have to buy two licences

[messyfuture]

not sure

usally most licences are usally only allowed to be installed on one computer at the time.

it would depend on the securtiy that the devolopers have put on the software to.

probably best to email and ask

i believe you can have 3 legally. we have live on 2 machines and its fine

[g]

i've had it on at least 3 machines before with no problem

[Starfuqer]

how could the software know it is installed on another computer ?
If it needs a dongle , just use the dongle on whatever computer you are using at the moment

[g]

there is no dongle for ableton. but a lot of apps have that "phone home" thing; maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.

Yeah they let you generate a couple serial numbers... I use mine on both my laptop and main studio pc just fine ;)

[dan the acid man]

nice one, will have to purchase this then i think, time to move on from my trusty fruityloops and get a bit more serious

I cant see there being a problem like. If you had too then you could always crack a version for your laptop. I cant really see them being arsey if some some magical reason they found out, at least you bought the software which is more than most people do.

Abes are pretty cool with people using it on their desktop + a laptop for gigs or whatever but if you use it live with two laptops they want you to buy a second license (which I think might be cheaper or something, I dunno)

if you have an original copy,
you have 2 registration codes standard.
