Launching the Authorization Wizard
The first time you open Ozone 5, the Authorization Wizard will appear. You can choose to either authorize Ozone or use it in Trial mode for evaluation purposes. Please use your supplied Ozone 5 serial number to fully authorize your product.
Trial vs. Demo Mode
For the first 10 days after installation, Ozone will run in Trial mode, which offers full functionality with the exception of saving and batch processing. After 10 days, Ozone will revert to Demo mode. In Demo mode, Ozone will intermittently mute audio output. You may alternate your Trial/Demo of Ozone 5 between Basic and Advanced versions with the 'Choose Demo:' drop-down menu under 'Auth & Updates' in the General Options tab.

Help
We have created an online article to help with common questions about our authorization system.
Removing Your Current Authorization
Use the authorization menu in Ozone's General Options panel to remove your current Ozone authorization, for example if you have upgraded to Ozone 5 Advanced and have already authorized Ozone 5 Basic. After removing your authorization, Ozone's authorization screen will pop up when you restart the program. Now you can re-authorize the application using a new serial number. You may also remove your Basic authorization at any time in order to run Ozone 5 Advanced in Trial or Demo mode.
Note: If you have downloaded Ozone 5 Basic and then purchased an upgrade to Ozone 5 Advanced, you will need to download Ozone 5 Advanced here and reinstall first.
The way it works today is much like DRM protection on music and movies. It only prevents the actual paying customers from having an overall good experience. Those who pirate Ableton today don't have this problem. Because of this I find the current method of authorization deeply flawed (especially since those who actually purchase the software are afaik not at all inclined to actually share their licence with others). Running out of authorizations for your machine/machines becomes more and more common and I suggest a remedy for future updates and versions.Why not scratch the system the way it works today, and apply the method of which iTunes is using to access your purchased material. At least the way it used to work when they sold DRM protected music. What method is that then? Well, you'd have, let's say 5 authorization slots, and you could choose yourself how you'd like to distribute them. In iTunes you can authorize up to five computers that can simultaneously access the DRM protected material purchased with your account. But, and this is the kicker, you can de-authorize one or all your computers if you need to free some up (let's say your computer crashes, you need to reinstall and re-autorize, there's no point for having one autorization slot beeing taken by the old installation that is now gone). This way, you always have access to your 5 authorization slots and I suggest you could authorize and de-autorize your copy of Live either from within a Live installation, or from your profile on http://www.ableton.com. And also a feature (like in iTunes), to de-authorize all current authorizations.
