Ableton Live Lite 4.14 somehow working on OSX Tiger 10.4.11
« on: August 26, 2024, 04:14:33 PM »
just a quick note to say , surprisingly this works! even tho ableton live 4 was originally released when osx Jaguar wasnt even out yet... not sure how but it works.the 32bit MacOSX installation of live 4.14 can be downloaded from any ableton account on their website.

why would anyone wanna run 4 instead of 8?
well ableton live lite 8 seems to be limited to 4 outputs (2 x stereo).. (my license anyway)
but ableton live lite 4 seems to be limited to 8 physical outs. (4 x stereo)

of course if you were to use the old PC keygen/crack then you would of course have no limitations!!! :o

i however was able to activate my legal copy of live lite 4... which involves process outlined here: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409113348242-Authorizing-older-versions-of-Live-1-9-6-2#h_01FKGC1GRYKQTNPQ7JATKA0AB7.. it saves a txt file with a big long code... u double click it or drag it to live to activate

"Sorry, sending MIDI to external hardware is not available in your current set of features"

interesting. i dont think any of the other live lite versions from 8 onward limited any midi connectivity!

i think this was only in version 4 as midi clips were brand new in that version. i dont remember seeing this message when using live lite 4 on OS9 tho! strange! maybe its only in the osx only version...
