First of all, I'm brand new to the scene ...

I am trying to run a Max for Live device called "Follow 4" by Isotonik Studios. That is the goal, here. And that's where my problems started :)

I am the proud owner of both Ableton Live 9.6 Standard, and a separate install of Max 7 - purchased on the monthly plan through cycling74's website. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to connect Ableton and Max. Do I still need to purchase "Max for Live" from Ableton, or is Max for Live included in the "Max 7" monthly membership purchase I made?

All the documentation I'm finding, just says to point Ableton's preferences to the root install location of Max. However, in Ableton "Preferences -> File/Folder", I don't even see a "Max Application" section. (see attached screenshot).

What am I missing here, folks? Thanks in advance!

Having the same problem... did you solve it???

In order to run MFL devices in Live you'd need to own MFL or Live Suite.

You can drag MFL devices into patchers though and use them as much as you want in Max.
