So, again, if you see the “demo mode” message in Kontakt, this means that you are using the free Kontakt Player plugin. If you bought Kontakt but you still see the “demo timeout” message when you load a Kontakt library, this means that you haven’t activated your Kontakt installation properly, and it’s operating as Kontakt Player. If you bought Kontakt from Native Instruments (or a different vendor), you are most certainly using the full version of Kontakt. If you downloaded Kontakt for free from the Native Instruments website or as a part of the free Komplete Start bundle, then you are using the free Kontakt Player plugin. It comes in two versions: KONTAKT 6 PLAYER (free) and KONTAKT 6 (€399). Kontakt is the flagship sampler plugin by Native Instruments. Sometimes you will see a “demo mode” message even though both the Kontakt Library and Kontakt Player itself are free. Indeed, using the free Kontakt Player by Native Instruments can cause some confusion, especially if you pair it with free libraries. Ideally I'd like to tell Native Access, "Ok, register this specified new library in K6, but do nothing else.One of the most frequently asked questions we get is a deceivingly simple one: “Why is my Kontakt library working in demo mode if it’s free?” I'll put up with Native Access only to let me use new libraries which I'd be using K6 for, but that's it. per se, but because I question NI's technical competence have read just too many shameful tales of woe re Native Access) that I'd really hate to find, for example, that I have to re-download / re-authorise any instruments which already work well in K5. If I buy K6 and buy libraries which require NA, will NA mess with my K5 stuff (including already installed libraries) in any way? I'm so mistrustful of NA (not because I object to online licensing etc. Not even interested in the K6 version of the Kontakt Factory Library. I'd only use K6 for the new libraries I choose. I figured I'd just wait for K6, as I'm told K5 and K6 can coexist on the same PC just fine. The problem of course is that there are new libraries out there I'd like which require K5.5.2+.
I've not updated Kontakt since 5.5.1 as I've read that, between subsequent 5.5.2+ versions of Kontakt and Native Access (NA), there always seem to be some bug or PITA that I really wish to avoid.
(By the way, I'm ok with loading libraries via the file menu tab having things show up in the library tab means nothing to me.) I love my Kontakt libraries, and my K5.5.1 (full) setup works just fine.
