Briefly: Ableton's free Holiday packs, Eltima Flash promo

Ableton has launched two free Live Packs as a holiday promotion, while Eltima Software is offering a free Flash Optimization license with the purchase of Flash'In'App

Ableton is offering two free Live Packs as a holiday gift to all of its customers. The two packs have been created by Everett Bradley and Christopher Tignor, providing users with a funk-filled take on the classic Nutcracker Suite, as well as a number of string-based loops. Both packs use instruments that are only available as add-ons or as part of the Ableton Suite. This means users without the instruments will be limited to running the packs with saving and exporting functions disabled.

Eltima offers free Flash Optimization license with Flash'In'App purchase

A new promotion is being offered by Eltima Software that provides developers with access to a free Flash-optimization utility. Customers who purchase Eltima's Flash'In'App software will receive a free license for Flash Optimizer for Mac. Flash'In'App is a tool for adding a Flash Player component to any application without the need for any additional code. Alternatively, Flash Optimizer offers a number of video compression options for reducing the size of SWF files. A single developer license of Flash'In'App runs for $400, while Flash Optimizer usually costs $100.
