Extended Music Software Trials

The Ableton Live Trial Has Been Extended from 30 to 90 Days

— April 2, 2020 — Tech
Ableton, the music production brand that makes Live, a popular software, has taken steps to increase the time of its introductory free trial so that creatives have more time to experiment while in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the Ableton Live free trial usually spans 30 days, the brand has now extended it to last 90 days instead, giving consumers an additional two months to experiment, learn the software, and create tracks. The Live 10 Suite trial offers all of the features included in the full version, which is valued at $799. This includes saving and exporting, allowing users to hold onto their creations after their trail has ended.

The Ableton Live free trial can be accessed through the brand's website, and can be downloaded onto both Mac and PC devices, given they have the system requirements necessary to run the software.
