This usually means you’re using an incompatible version of Ableton Live.
Check the requirements on the product page before downloading. Most issues are caused by using an older version of Live. To fix it, update to the latest version of Ableton Live from your Ableton account.
Still not working? No problem — get in touch and we can get to the bottom of the issue.

Ableton Live is music production software, also known as a digital audio workstation (DAW). It’s used by producers, musicians and performers to create, arrange and perform music.
If you’re new to Ableton, the best place to learn more is their official site: ableton.com
Ableton Live Packs are add-ons that expand the sounds, instruments and effects available in Ableton Live. They’re Live’s way of letting you customise and grow your toolkit.
While Ableton comes with a built-in library, it’s not meant to cover every style or need. As your skills develop, you’ll likely want new sounds to explore — and that’s where Live Packs come in. Many are created by third-party sound designers and developers to help you go further with your music.
Max For Live is a platform that lets developers create entirely new instruments and effects for Ableton Live. You can use these just like any built-in device.
Some Max For Live devices are simple tools, like synths or audio effects. Others go much deeper — they can modify how Live behaves and unlock features that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.
