Hello
I decide to buy ableton live suite but there is something I don't understand correctly, there is actually 25% off on Ableton Live 8 Suite with Live 9 Suite Update;
But will this package includes Max4Life too ?
Is there any differences between buying Ableton Live 8 Suite with Live 9 Update and waiting for Live 9 to come ?

Thanks.
As per the comparison chart, SUITE include MaxForLive
https://www.ableton.com/en/live/feature-comparison/
but yeah I see what you mean, something's not clear over there. Did you tried to log into your account and add the upgrade to the shopping cart?
EDIT: ok, the other price I didn't understand (need some sleep I guess) will be after march 4th) So yeah, the comparison chart is still valid. Quite a bargain if you ask.
If BitWig wasn't 'round I would get it too.
I call my Controller Dealer and he say that there was no differences between Ableton Live Suite 8 + Updates and Live 9 Suite. So I think i'll order it. Thanks for you answers i'll speak with Ableton support to be sure of this.
You will receive Max for live with your free update to Suite 9. M4L is part of Suite 9.
Apparently there is some difference between buying live 8 + 9update and live 9 the 5.
Here is the E-mail I send to Ableton:

So my question is:
Apart the price and the available date is there any difference, are they exactly the same ?
Thanks.
Here is the Answer:
So anybody there understand what this mean ? because .... I don'tQuote:
Ableton Live 8 and 9 are different in some ways.
First of all the structure of the Browser and Library paths has changes.
We recommend to buy Live 8 now because the Library is bigger then Live 9īs Core Library. Live 9 instead will be bigger in Packs content.
Live 8īs Library will be visible in the Browser of Live 9.
See this articles in our Knowledge Base to learn more about it:

Pretty simple: If you buy now you are getting Suite 8, and later suite 9.
Suite 8 and suite 9 are diffferent, 9 includes m4l and more libraries.
What I dont know is that what happens to you Suite 8 license? You kkeep it? or it is upgraded to a suite 9 license? i suspect the later.
I suspect you might be able to keep Suite 8 installed if you already authorized it, along Suite 9, but once you uninstall that SUite 8 it might be impossible to get it autohhorized again since now you will have only a Suite 9 license.

So if i buy Ableton 8 now I'll get all the features of Ableton 9 which is coming on 5th ?
Because:Does this mean that I'll miss some of the pack included in the 5th march version or not... sorry for these questions but Google Translation isn't helping so much.Quote:

Thanks
It's a good deal - there are no cons that I can see.
Okay so I'll order Ableton live 8 + 9 Update.
Thanks for all, have a nice day.
Well it means Live suite 8 doesnt come with such, so while you only have suite 8 (till march 9) you wont have those new libraries which are exclusive to Suite 9. When the version 9 is released you will be able to download all that stuff: 25 gb, 55 installed.Quote:
