License FAQ

Each Live license is intended for a single user; it is registered to one person and covers the use of the software on two computers owned by the license holder.

Please read our license policy for further details.

How can I transfer my license to another person?

You can transfer your Live license to another person directly from your user account.

Can I  transfer my old license to someone else now that I've upgraded?

You may not transfer an older version of Live which has been upgraded, unless you wish to transfer the complete license (including all upgrades).

If you previously owned licenses for any add-on components and then upgraded to Suite, you can no longer transfer them separately, as they have been absorbed into your Suite license.

Non-Suite add-ons such as the Ableton Partner Instruments and third party packs can be transferred separately.
