I have been having trouble with my mac pro.. it brings me to two blue screens.. I was told to Re install.. "archive and install" to be specific .. Snow leopard.. In a tragic fire i lost alot of things.. one of which was my key code to abletonlive.. If i archive and install snow leopard again to fix my boot up problem.. Will it ask me for a keycode for abletonlive?.. Or will all my applications run as they did prior to having my boot up problem, after archive and install is ran with snowleopard again... Im somewhat computer savy.. but not too indepth.. Anyone with information that could possibly help me.. i would be greatly appreciative....
 
The Mac OS X sub-forum would be better suited for this question.
And also a better formatting of you post could increase readability.


Snow Leopard does not really do an "Archive and Install" anymore like Leopard or Tiger did.

It just reinstalls the system and leaves no folder called Previous System behind.

Therefore your Ableton license should still be working, but your boot problem might also be still existing.

Why don't you ask Ableton for your license? There must be still some kind of prove, that you purchased that piece of software legally, or is there not?
