Claim Your Teacher Discount At Ableton
Ableton supports music creators, students, and educators by offering a massive 50% discount on new licenses for Live Intro, Standard, or Suite. Eligible full-time or part-time students (aged 18+) enrolled at an accredited school, college, or university, along with currently employed teachers and instructors, can qualify for the reduction. This educational pricing also applies when bundling a new Live license with Push hardware, giving producers access to the full, unrestricted feature set of Ableton Live at half the standard retail cost.
How to Claim Your Discount:
Purchase Your License: Visit the Ableton Education shop, select your desired edition of Live (Intro, Standard, or Suite) or Push bundle, and complete your purchase.
Submit Student/Teacher Credentials: Log into your Ableton user account and upload proof of eligibility, such as a legible student/faculty ID card, enrollment transcript, or official employment letter.
Activate Your Software: Once Ableton verifies your documentation (typically within one business day), your license will unlock, allowing you to fully authorize, save, and export your projects.

Other Ways To Save Money
Free 30-Day Trial
Before spending a dime, download the Ableton Live 12 Trial. It is the full Suite version (all features, instruments, and saving/exporting enabled) for 30 days. This gives you a month to wait for a sale while still being productive.
License Transfers (The Used Market)
Ableton officially allows users to sell and transfer their licenses. Sites like KnobCloud or the KVR Audio Marketplace are dedicated to used music software. You can often find Live 12 Suite for significantly less than the retail price. Always use a protected payment method (like PayPal Goods & Services) and ensure the seller initiates the transfer through the official Ableton "Transfer License" form.
The "Live Lite" Upgrade Path
Many MIDI controllers (like those from Novation, Akai, or Arturia) come with a free copy of Ableton Live Lite. Register your free Lite serial number first. Once it's in your account, the price for "Standard" or "Suite" upgrades often drops significantly. Companies like Novation and Focusrite occasionally offer an extra 20%–25% discount code specifically for Lite users to upgrade to Live 12.
