  • If you own a license for Live 11 or above Intro, Standard, or Suite, authorize your Live license on Push to unlock additional features and content, and get access to your licensed Packs.
  • A wide range of Packs, including many MPE-enabled instruments, is bundled with each Push (standalone) and Push 3 license, ready to install after authorization. See the list of bundled packs and learn more in our guide to Packs on Push.
