So you can't install live packs in the library... I didn't know this and I installed a bunch there. If I click Preferences - Library, they are all listed under Live Pack. But if I open the library folder itself in My Documents - Ableton, they are not visible. What should I do? They are installed and taking up space but I don't know how to access them.

Only Live Packs from Ableton are listed in the preferences>Library. 

Third party Live Packs aren't visible there.

Example:

If you have installed the Drum Machines Live Pack,

you cant use it until you bought the optional license.

@MeyerMusicmedia

What is the optional licence ?

I've followed your instructions on the video but when i right cilc on it there isno manage project....! i can only create one....

[MeyerMusicmedia]

@pierrepollo

You need only a additional licence for Ableton Live Suite.

Drum Rack is a part of the Suite

I hope Ableton will change the Live Pack architecture in the next version of Live.

I think it's easier to install Live-Pack, directly to the Library. Maybe a user Library and a Factory Library.

thx Meyer,

do you know how much the upgrade from ableton live 8 will cost me?

[MeyerMusicmedia]

The upgrade form Live 8 to Live 8 Suite is something about 250 $

It's really worth the money.

Live PAcks have the most frustrating aspect of Abelton. So non-intuitive to open and find them.

HELP! Hi, i have some Live packs. When i launch the package Ableton crashes/freeze for some secounds. And it get's back to normal again, then it shows up a window that say's something like " Your installation failed " .. But i just have Live Lite 8 Xonar edition, is it something with that? D o i need the full version for installing them ? Thanks.
