Ever since I tried installing the version of Ableton with the new r2rwm keygen, I haven't had any success. The authorize.auz file simply won't drag and drop/paste into Ableton. I've already run it as administrator, formatted my PC multiple times, used Revo Uninstaller, added antivirus exclusions, and even downloaded older versions of Ableton with the old keygen, but nothing works. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have a solution to suggest?

this to me:
"one common reason the .auz file won't "drop" or register in Ableton (especially after a clean format) is that the hardware ID or digital fingerprint generated by the keygen doesn't perfectly match what Ableton is looking for, or Ableton's background licensing service is blocking it. Instead of dragging and dropping, try right-clicking the authorize.auz file, selecting "Open with...", and choosing Ableton Live from the list. Alternatively, placing the file directly into Ableton's hidden preferences folder (usually found in C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live x.x\Legal\) sometimes forces the authorization without needing the drag-and-drop interface."

Are you on PC?

If so, make sure you slide the VCruntime file inside the proper folder once you've installed Ableton before the whole .auz file
