Hi,

every time I try to open SubLab (both stand-alone or .au in Ableton) it crashes.  
SubLab version: M1 - 1.1.8

I 've tried to install also the non M1 version and in Ableton it won’t open, but standalone runs fine.

Here are some details from Ableton crash log:

Hi,  
wonderful! The beta is now loading both standalone and .au. But I cannot activate it. When I insert my activation code it says I’m not on the internet even though I am. Do I need to update any security settings in the system? I am not using any firewall to block outgoing connections.
