Ableton 11 Preferences: Licenses Maintenance

The licenses and maintenance settings probably need no explanation, but for the sake of completeness we’ll give it a quick once-over.

Ableton 11 Manual – Licenses Maintenance

Licenses

Authorize This Computer Online

This option allows you to activate your copy of Ableton Live on the current computer using an internet connection. It verifies your license and enables you to use the software.

Authorize via another computer with an internet connection

If your current computer does not have internet access, you can authorize Ableton Live on another computer that does. This typically involves generating an authorization code on the online computer and entering it on the offline one.

Maintenance

Get Automatic Updates

When enabled, this setting allows Ableton Live to automatically check for and install updates. This ensures you have the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes without needing to manually check for updates.

This option allows you to share anonymous usage data with Ableton. This data helps them understand how users interact with the software, which can inform future updates and improvements. You can choose to enable or disable this feature based on your privacy preferences.

Final Thoughts

The licenses and maintenance section allows you to authorize and set your update and sharing preferences. Easily done!
