after some investigation last night i was able to get this working!!!!!!
actual screengrab from my screen:
use the ableton live keygen we had before with this serial:
3404-B10E-E829-A12C-698C-CCAE
be sure to paste this code into the keygen on the pc first
then copy the *SAME CODE* also into the working ableton live 4 on mac os 9
under options > preferences > products
enter the code here,
ableton will give a challenge code
take this code and enter this back into the keygen on the pc
then it will give u the lame ass seriously long 9 x 7 digits response code
upon typing this long code back into the mac os 9
u will have unlocked operator!!!!!!!
SO EXCITED
