1. Requirements to install Live 12 on Push (standalone)

1. Confirm that you have a Live 12 license in your Ableton account.

2. Activate upgrade from Push

1. Press the Setup button > Software tab. Push will automatically detect if a Live version upgrade is available, and display a notification on the right side of the screen.

If you do not see the upgrade button, update Push to the latest software available. You’ll see the notification, “An update to Push 1.2.x is available,” press the Update button to complete this step before upgrading Live on Push.

4. Follow the instructions on the display to connect your phone or computer to Push via the URL provided.

Note: As of Push 1.2, the Upgrade button is available even if you don’t have a license for a newer Live version. However, the button will only activate the upgrade process once you’ve authorized Push with the relevant license, following the steps below.

3. Authorize Live on Push

1. After entering the URL displayed on Push in Step 4 above in your web browser, Push will connect to Ableton.com.
2. In your web browser, log in to your Ableton account.
   If you have a single Live 12 license in your account, Push will then authorize automatically. If you have multiple licenses, choose the one you’d like to use with Push from the dropdown menu.
3. Once you see the page “Push Authorization” in your web browser, check the Push display. If the authorization was successful, Push will begin downloading and installing Live 12. You will see the notification "Push is updating to 2.X."
4. Push will restart automatically when the upgrade is complete. After upgrading, in Setup > Software, Push will display Push 2.x and Live 12.x
