Essentially, I tried.almost every solution I could google and with no luck I figured I would be left to send the file to Ableton support and hope for the best. I say almost every solution because there was one method I came across that wasn't at all explained in detail and well long story long. The only limitation is that you cant reopen your saved projects! Other then that you get to use the full version!
