No - how many is he selling? - when they sell a digital only license it is 100% guaranteed fake - you just have to pay the piper.

When you buy 10, you can get 11. At least when I upgraded to 10. I received an upgrade for 11 with my license.
I know Ableton does allow for license transfer. I know this first hand. I purchase Ableton for my daughter, she moved on to other things as she got older and I had $800 invested and wasn't going to let it go to waste. I requested the license be transferred to me and with a little effort, not a bunch of hoops, I received ownership. If you trust the source, it is legit.
Not sure why you won't update to 11, but I am sure you have your reasons.

So I am interested in Live 11 Suite, but I thought it would be hard to get it on my budget. $450 is the most I'm willing to pay.
I've never used this method to buy software, but it seems safe enough. I know some of you have been cheated, so what do you think of this? I'll probably do it.

The sellers look legit - you have to stick to their suggestions though - like license transfers have to come from the Manufacturer - Use PayPal Goods etc...but they are decent enough prices - if you follow their rules about safety protocols I think you would be fine.
A while back, I was on the lookout for software, and like you, I considered buying from individuals on eBay. I found a seller who seemed reputable, had good reviews, and even answered all my questions promptly. It felt like a safe bet.
However, after purchasing the license, things took an unexpected turn. A few months down the line, Ableton flagged the license as invalid, and I couldn't get any support or updates.
If you're concerned about budget constraints, keep an eye out for Ableton's official promotions or discounts. They occasionally offer deals that can help you save while ensuring you get a legitimate license.
