Hello,
Is there a way to install a new Live 12 Beta over an older Live 12 Beta Version?
Or must i deinstall and reinstall it?
I ask because when i deinstall and install new all my Settings are gone and i must set all new.
Or is there a Solution to install new Live 12 Beta and put my Settings from the old Beta Version in it?

Thanks

 

you just overwrite it and all should be good. Even if you save it to a different folder. You may or may not need to reauthorize it, but that shouldn't affect the settings.

 

I uninstall and reinstall from Windows Control Panel every time and my settings stick. My Live 12 Beta copied all the settings from 11. How are you uninstalling?

 

This is exactly what I was alluding to

 

Ok, i have testet it. Overwrite is not Possible:


But making a new Folder and installing it takes the Settings from the older Version. Thats what i want, Thank you

 

I was referring to the update from one 12 beta to another 12 beta.
But all good, problem solved

 

If i had to Uninstall some Program i use Revo Uninstaller and thats my go to Uninstaller for Years. Newer hat a Problem with it.

 

OK this is exactly your problem. Revo is wiping out the folders ArticStorm is talking about. Dont use revo when uninstalling Ableton and your settings will stay.

 

Your installation (unless you override paths etc. but then you'd know what you're looking for already) will live (!) in 4 key locations:

The static program binaries, this will be overwritten when upgrading within the same major version (suite 11.1 to suite 11.2 for example):
C:\ProgramData\Ableton\<live version>\ , where version is "Live 11 Suite", "Live 11 Lite", "Live 12 Beta" etc. (these can live side by side)

The program settings per user and per version: preferences, usage history like recently opened files etc. and unlock information
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\<version>, username is your username, of course and version is the exact version number like "Live 11.3.13" or "Live 12.0b26".

Keep the ones you are using, like "Live 11.3.13", and the one you'll be upgrading from, like "Live 12.0b26" when installing beta 27.

The library and decoding cache lives in:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Ableton\
This is shared between all versions installed. This can be wiped if you run into problems with the indexer or sharing the library with several Ableton installs.

Default path for installed packages and projects:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Ableton\
All versions have the library/packages here. You will want to back this up regularly (or whatever path you set it to).
