This is a MaxForLive device, so it's only works with Live Suite or Live Standard with MaxForLive.
Floating plug-in window control currently requires the Ableton Live beta release 12.4.5b1 and will likely become available in Live 12.5.

Plugin Windows Pack

/
This MaxForLive pack contains 4 devices that lets you manage your Plugin floating windows in Ableton Live:
- Toggle the selected plugins window
- Create a snapshot of the currently opened plugin windows to recall it later.
- Toggle all plugin windows on the selected track
- Close every plugin window in Live.
These actions are Key, and MIDI mappable and accessible from Push.
IMPORTANT:
Accessing floating plug-in windows through Ableton Live’s API currently requires the latest public beta version:
Live 12.4.5b1.
This functionality is not yet available in the current stable Live release, but will likely become publicly available in a future Live update (possibly Live 12.5).
