plus I am not even sure Ableton will allow me to make the European purchase as a Canadian.Ableton Live 11 is out, talk about it here. I doubt (but I have not checked) that upgrading from Lite to Suite via the European website and Euro (as you suggest) is going to turn out as well and don't forget I will have to pay the EU VAT plus the Euro / Can awful exchange rate etc. What that means is that yes, I do have Live Lite for "free" because I have Korg Gadget, but the most I could get off the price for Suite would be CAN $100, bringing the price to CAN $799 from $899, when I add taxes this will bring the price to $799 x 1.12 = CAN $895.īut if I buy the educational edition of Suite from the USA it will cost me US $449 = 449/.75 = CAN $600 (and there will be no taxes) meaning that I would save CAN $300. I have to assume the Ableton website assessed that I am Canadian when I downloaded Lite via Gadget via my email address.
Upgrading from Lite to Suite I get this prompt from the Ableton website "Only until September 3rd Upgrade from Live Lite or Intro: Save up to CAD 100".
License transfer is easy, I bought mine second hand.Īs it relates to Canada and the USA (remember I live in Canada): I don’t know about education terms though. There is a discount for updates, so for the same package the new version will be discounted.
I was replying to Bluegreen’s comment about upgrades. Are you saying that the educational version's upgrade path will be more costly? I'm confused now! There does not appear to be any limitations of any kind outside of license transfer. There are discounts for updates though, so from Suite 9 to Suite 10 for example. Will be another few years until 11 judging by historical events. The EDU version never goes on sale and is the cheapest option to future versions don’t get any discount so the saving is a one time thing. The one trade-off is that the license can only be sold / transferred to students or teachers who meet the eligibility requirements for educational purchases." Based on your past experience should I wait until Black Friday or is the education pricing likely to be competitive thus I can buy now safely?Īs per the Ableton website the only caveat is: "We feel that it is important to support students and teachers, for this reason there aren't any limitations imposed on a license purchased with our educational discount. I am a teacher and thus I can get the educational edition of Ableton Live 10 Suite so my cost would be $449 US, however I am not in a rush and I know that Black Friday can have some amazing deals (at least on iOS it does). I've been doing a bit of reading and I like Ableton Live's hardware integration and the fact that it's transitions so easily from the studio to live performance and I have a pricing question for all you kind folks. I wanna buy Ableton Live 10 Suite today and:
