Just curious if anybody has tried running Ableton Live solely off of a flash drive or an external hard drive. I have access to a computer at work but do not have administrative priviledges and can not download any software onto my computer. I have some downtime every now and then and would love to be working on music production. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

No. The libraries can be ran off of a usb drive, but not the actual software.
no 
but you can have some fun with this [url=http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/digimix-the-first-online-daw-166285]http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/digimix-the-first-online-daw-166285[/url]
option number two would be to install windows on an external drive, but it would need to be a firewire or e-sata drive because usb is a bit slow
than you could run system from an external drive, but its not possible on all computers, so bribing you tech wizz at the office is much better option 
Yes!! 
No - Definitely not at all! :w00t:
Maybe?! - :hehe:

+1 - The only way!
Do that 
The answer is yes.
However your karma may take a slight hit if you aquire the portable edition.?
Yes, however it’ll be pretty slow… I personally run ableton off my local drive and then my samples etc on an external drive. Even that’s pretty slow.
