Hi all, just saw this in my email - Ableton Live Suite Upgrade (Live Lite -> Live Suite) is being offered 50% off to Novation/Focusrite customers. There are a few caveats, but they're not particularly difficult to meet:
- must have purchased an applicable product since Sept 1 2022 (see product list at bottom)
- product will have to be registered with Novation/Focusrite on their website, i.e. will prevent 2nd-hand products working if already registered)
- it seems to only be for specifically Live Lite > Live Suite. The products come with Live Lite
One thing to note, this purchase is from the Focusrite store, not directly through Ableton, so it doesn't take into account the upgrade pricing for Live Lite > Live Studio that Ableton offer ($959 AUD via Ableton directly). This deal worked out to be $567 AUD today after applying the discount. Apparently there's usually a 20-25% sale in June which would bring the $959 upgrade directly through Ableton down to around the $720 mark.
They say "while stock lasts" which is a bit odd for a digital product, but maybe they can only upgrade a certain number of licenses. Get in early if you want this imo rather than waiting until the end of the deal period. Seems to me it would work for a newly purchased product too, I didn't see anything mentioned that barred that option.
First post for me here, I had to share as this is a great deal for anyone in the same boat as me. Hope this helps someone!

Slightly unrelated but I upgraded from ableton suite 10 to 11 cheaper by changing my country to china. Might be some upgrade paths cheaper that way as well.
