Hello, I'm in the shits. Now, my ableton live (cracked paid version) suddenly dropped me (not long after trying to install a plug-in downloaded on a sister site... I don't know if it has a link) and ask me to give it an activation number. I really don't know what to do. I don't want to try to do anything with my computer, a misfortune is so quicly arrived.

Is someone able to help me with that? It would be so appreciated.

 

Relax. It is not the end of the world. First, what is your OS? Secondly, What is a cracked paid version? So you know, Ableton and every DAW should be blocked from accessing the internet.

Is ableton not registered anymore? Or is only that new plugin you've installed asking for activation?
No misfortunes, don't worry

 

uninstall, reinstall and turn off the update in preferences

 

i never blocked live in firewall and no issues.......

 

I block EVERY DAW...and no issues. What happens if user has automatic updates turned on and it is connected to the internet without Live being blocked?

Said user shouldn't have updates.. turned on

 

Unless you are 100% legit your DAW should not be able to access the internet. Period. In fact, your computer also should be off line.

 

If u dont block ur daw from the internet, everytime u scan the vst-plug-in-folder for a new plug-in, all the 3rd party plug-ins which have homecall function, will stop working, if they cracked. I had this issue a couple of times until i found the culprit.

 

Thank you everybody for all your answer!!

I run on windows 10 home.

I ask somebody to install a cracked version(from one of your website)... that's a cracked paid version.

Yes I know... but I don't know how to desactivated it. In fact, I think It doesn't work anyway... my anti-virus(mcafee) succeed nevertheless at finding the key gen and to block it. So everything that have a key gen is impossible to install anyway.

 

Don't panic mate...

 

on noe, virtual policy of Ableton and Slate Digital virtual cops just got you with your IP adress, this is just the end...
Put your hands in the air, now !!!!!!

 

ok either you need to wise up and learn about using cracked software and using software in general or you just need to stop using cracked software.
1. paid cracked: so do you mean you paid someone to install a cracked version? or do you mean someone installed the version of ableton that you have to pay for? either way there is no cracked paid version and nobody will call it that. it will only confuse people if you make up names yourself. if it was the free legal version of ableton (ableton lite) then it wouldnt need to be cracked.
2. so everything that have a keygen is impossible to install anyway: and that's you really need to read up or watch some youtube tutorials on using cracked software. if it was impossible to use a keygen then nobody would release cracked software with keygens. the reason your antivirus blocks the keygen is because keygens usually use viruslike algorithms to generate serials. so how do you solve this problem? simple, just turn off your antivirus when you run the keygen. how do you know it's safe? because no crack team would spread software with virusses, and it wouldnt make it on the sister site. another clue will be that the virus will be called something like generic./win32/
3. ableton suddenly is asking for a serial. you literally said that you just installed a plugin and the plugin came with a keygen... 1+1=? this isnt rocket science.

 

Sudden problem with 'my' ableton live
They licence it to you; it's not yours.

Ableton probably called home on behalf of the un-serial'd new plugin, upon booting Ableton after installing the new plugin.
I reckon that's what OP is freaking about.
So; everything The Pirate said.

 

This was a posts ago, but I have never once blocked my DAW from accessing the net - however I do know that if, in Ableton, you have automatic updates turned on, it WILL deactivate your install, so thats a big no-no. I forgot to turn this off once and it happened. Never happened any other time.
