CHAPTER 3. UNLOCKING LIVE 15

Demo Mode can also be deactivated on a product-by-product basis in the Product Prefer-

ences.

If running Live or another product in Demo Mode raises your interest in purchasing it, please

select it from the Products Preferences tab and then click the Buy button, or visit the Ableton

webshop

. This site contains information about Ableton's distributor and dealer network.

It also offers you the opportunity to buy Ableton products online. Live's Preferences are

available via the Options menu (or the Live menu in Mac OS X).

3.3.2 What if I Change My Computer's Components?

If the challenge code of your computer changes for some reason, Live will indeed ask

you to unlock the software another time. The challenge code does not change, however,

when computer peripherals are replaced (audio or MIDI hardware, printers, modems). The

challenge code may change if the motherboard, processor or network card is replaced. On

some computers, reformatting a hard drive also changes the challenge code.
