Ableton Live discounts until 9 drops

Im sure most people saw that ableton 8 is 25% off at ableton.com and you get a free upgrade to 9 when it drops.

However for Suite 8 there was 2 versions - boxed and download. Boxed had a huge library of samples etc.

I was wondering if you needed to buy box suite 8 to get the full suite 9. Happy to report that is NOT the case, the download of suite 9 will have all content minus a printed manual.

Heres the email from ableton if anyone is interested.

I'll pick up a suite 8 download version right after new years (accounting reasons ).

cheers

Hello there,

Thanks for getting in touch with us and your interest in Ableton. We apologize for the late response.

Live 9 will have two different versions as well but since Live 9 is not released yet we will show them on our website in the first quarter of next year.

Please note, in Live 9 Suite, the difference between the boxed and download versions will be that the boxed version will have, in addition, the installation DVD's and a printed manual. All sample content will be identical for both the download and the boxed version.

Please click here to get more information:

If you purchase Suite 8 during our campaign, the free upgrade will then be added to your account upon release of Live 9 in the first quarter of 2013.

It will provide you with exactly the same features and content as a normal Live 9 Suite version would.

Remember, it does not matter which version of Suite 8 you purchase now, as Live 9 is only available via download. That is, all content for Live 9 will be able to downloaded through your Ableton user account.

Feel free to contact us if you have further questions or problems.

Best regards,
Danny
