anyone?

Excellent “NO CV Error” UPDATE – worked without a hitch – BUT a couple of days later, reverted to DEMO mode (and asked for serial.

Am trrying to DL again – but the site seems to be down.

(Also, wondering if guys are missing the UPDATE link above the screen shot and heading straight for the lnk below it – are they continuing to use the earlier version (with CV issus!!)

Apologies for the work this entails!!

Ableton runs a checksum when you’re computer is connected to the internet (must be fairly random b/c I’ve been running Live for 6 months and I’m always connected via wireless). Ableton has sneaky Advanced TCP/IP.plist files hidden in the Preferences folder, and they are zero length too. This is how i got it working again using info from various forums on the web. Thanks to the genius of Entomologist and PUNK-ska I got Live back fully running (and for good!) and hopefully you can too.

It should be noted that Ableton, when connected to the web, will catch the invalid key if the script is not correctly written. To be sure you can always disconnect from the web before using Live, but that;s a hassle so the script is a perfect solution. Following the other steps correctly will get Live up and running again, but it will only be a matter of time before Ableton runs a checksum and finds that its using an invalid key, yet again giving the Copy Violation Error, crashing Live, and ruining the track you were currently working on. Locking the “unlock.cfg” doesn’t work, as it reports an error if you try to save a file. But if the script is working, then the script will then stay open and every five minutes will call the Unix copy command ‘cp’ to overwrite ‘Unlock.cfg’ with the working cracked one, thus for that file defeating any counting/flagging mechanism. I have it permanently running to re-copy the working cracked ‘Unlock.cfg’ file every 5 minutes – extremely low CPU usage too. Make sure you are not connected to the internet. After its working again, If you load files that have been saved with a (detected) cracked version, it will report back a Copy Violation Error and crash Live. New files should work fine.

1. First open up Terminal, found in your applications folder/utilities. Type (or copy/paste:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

*that is two commands*
(this shows all files, including the hidden files, in each folder)

2. Go to your home directory, then click on library, then Preferences.
~/Library/Preferences/

3. Look for a file that looks like “Advanced TCP:IP 0000blahblahblah.plist” and delete it.

4. Delete the folder Ableton in the Preferences folder.

5. Go back into Terminal and type (or copy/paste) these two commands:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

(this hides all the hidden files in each folder again)

******Alternatively to #1-5:
Run Terminal and type:
cd Library
cd Preferences
ls -al <——–(this will give you a directory listing of your preferences directory including hidden files)
rm “Advanced TCP/IP.plist” <——–(or whatever the files name is, to delete these, for as many files there are of that type as necessary, but it should be a maximum of two. Make sure you have the double quotes for the file name as Unix takes names with spaces as parameters if unquoted).

6. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Live 5.2/Unlock/Unlock.cfg
and delete the file and the Unlock folder.

7. Open Live. The procedure above should have reset your Ableton. It should ask if you want to proceed in demo mode or enter a valid key. Choose to enter key.
-enter this serial:

4008-7527-B461-5C69-8A88-C075

8. Choose “Enter unlock code” and enter the following code (yes, there are strange characters in there):

%SPECLK – <SPECLK – #SPECLK
3SPECLK – XSPECLK – PSPECLK
+SPECLK – !SPECLK – 7SPECLK

9. To unlock Operator, enter this serial:

A407-7107-A71D-5764-5106-A196

10. Again, select “Enter unlock code” and enter the following code:

%SPECLK – <SPECLK – #SPECLK
3SPECLK – XSPECLK – PSPECLK
+SPECLK – !SPECLK – 7SPECLK

11. There, so Live should now open fine. A new “unlock.cfg” has been input and the dreaded Advanced TCP/IP.plist file(s) has/have been removed. However, when connected to the net, Live is still susceptible to the Ableton checksum in the future.

***The only problem at this point will be that any Live files that are infected with the copyright file will not open correctly.

12. Somehow the Copy Violation Error checksum also modifies the ‘Unlock.cfg’ when it saves files, possibly a counter. I found an Applescript which copies over the ‘cracked’ Unlock.cfg back in every five minutes, thus resetting it. The script will stay open and every five minutes will overwrite ‘Unlock.cfg’ with the cracked working version, thus defeating any counting/flagging mechanism.

13. First of all, make a copy of the original cracked ‘Unlock.cfg’ file that is working fine to open Live, and paste it to any location other than Ableton’s directory (I used my documents folder for simplicity).

14. Open script Editor and enter this:

on idle
tell application “Finder”
do shell script “cp ‘/{PATH TO THE COPY OF UNLOCK.CFG}/Unlock.cfg’ ‘/Users/{YOUR USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Live 5.2/Unlock/Unlock.cfg’”

end tell
return 300 ‘Application’ and set the checkboxes for ‘Run Only’, ‘Stay Open’ and if desired ‘Startup Screen’ (or choose to run script automatically on login, up to you, but I recommend for extra insurance).

15. Run the script to ensure it works. Double-click the file where it was saved. Select “run,” and if it doesn’t report back any errors but remains open, it should be working properly.
