How does rent-to-own work?
Once you start a rent-to-own program, you can rent Live 12 for one month. You can extend the plan every month and as soon as you pay off the full price of Live 12 Suite EDU, you own your Live 12 license.
Is it possible to pause the rent-to-own plan?
Yes, it’s possible to pause or resume the plan at any time. Your progress towards license ownership will not be affected.
How will upgrades work?
Once you complete your rent-to-own plan, you will be eligible for upgrade discount.
E.g. if you complete the Live 12 EDU rent-to-own plan, you will be eligible for an upgrade discount to Live 13. The cost of upgrading from a paid off Live 12 EDU rent-to-own license would be the same as the cost from upgrading from a regular Live 12 EDU license.
What happens if I cancel my plan?
If you cancel your plan, you will keep access to your rent-to-own plan until the end of your current billing cycle. It's possible to resume your plan at any time and continue your payments.
How does Live know whether I have an active rent-to-own plan?
Each time your computer connects to the internet, Live will run an authorization check to confirm your payment plan is still active. You’ll be granted up to 3 days of offline access before another authorization check is required. After this saving and exporting will be deactivated until a license check can be performed again.
Can I buy the software outright to instantly get my license?
Yes, you can pay off your remaining balance at any time.
Can I transfer the payments to purchase other Ableton product?
No. You can only purchase the product that you’re renting (Live 12 Suite EDU) by paying the remaining balance. However, you cannot transfer your rent-to-own payments to purchase other products (e.g. Live 12 Intro or Standard).
Are the features of the rent-to-own Live 12 Suite EDU edition the same as the features of the regular Live 12 Suite EDU edition?
Yes, the features are the same.
