If no user encountered the same experience, I would advice to directly ask your question to the Ableton Live Forum — JSmith, Jan 16 '16 at 14:43

In Ableton Live 8, you can't plug and play MIDI devices, you have to connect them before lauching the software.

In Live 9 it's ok.

As tomtomtom said Ableton Live 8 doesn't allow plug and play MIDI devices on Windows. This works on Mac.
