An open-source, Python-based patch and key generator for Ableton Live, mirroring the functionality of Team R2R's tools. This project provides a streamlined, cross-platform solution for patching and authorizing Ableton Live.
Copy paste this one-liner cmd into your terminal & it should auto patch ableton.
curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jesvijonathan/Ableton_Cracker/master/run.py | python3
- All-in-One Script: A single command is all you need to start the process.
- No Manual Setup: The script automatically handles all configurations.
- Cross-Platform: Fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux (via Wine).
- Auto-Detect Installations: Automatically finds your Ableton Live application.
- Reversible: Includes a simple unpatcher to restore the original executable at any time.
You can run the patcher instantly with a one-line command or by downloading the script manually. Python 3 must be installed on your system.
- Download the
run.py
file from this repository. - Open your terminal or command prompt in the folder where you saved the file.
- Run the script:
- Windows:
python run.py
- macOS / Linux:
sudo python3 run.py
After starting the script, follow these steps (Not required if auto-detection is successful):
You need this unique ID from your computer to generate the correct authorization file.
- Open Ableton Live.
- Go to Preferences → Licenses & Updates.
- Click the Authorize Offline button.
- Your Hardware ID will be displayed. Copy this ID and keep it ready.
- The first time you run the script, it will download a
config.json
file into the same directory. - Open
config.json
with any text editor. - Replace the placeholder hwid (
"1111-..."
) with your own HWID. - Optionally, change the edition and version to match your installation.
- Go back to the script running in your terminal.
- Choose option
1. Patch
from the menu. - The script will find your Ableton installation(s). If you have multiple, select the one you want to patch.
- It will patch the application and generate an
Authorize.auz
file.
- Open Ableton Live.
- Drag and drop the generated
Authorize.auz
file onto the Ableton window. - You're done! Your Ableton Live is now fully authorized.
