Hi,

I've read through the forums and nothing posted has solved any problems I've had. I purchased Kore 2/Komplete 5 bundle and installed Kore 2 with no problems and activated it through the new service center (not the one installed on the DVD). I then installed Komplete 5 and entered the serial number and I get the error message "Not activated - The serial number you have tried to activate is not licensed yet. (1021)".

I've send service emails and even sent the file you are supposed to but no reply yet. Anyone have any ideas?

Kurt

Hello Kurt,

this problem should have been solved last Monday. If you still need assistance, please let me know.

Yes. This problem was fixed the next day after emailing customer support. Thank you for such a fast response!

I just bought this bundle and am having the exact same problem.
I installed and successfully activated Kore 2. Then spent several hours installing Komplete 5. I updated my version of the Service Center app to the latest, (2.0.5.002 on Mac OS X 10.5.5). And every time I try to activate the Komplete 5 bundle I am told:
Not Activated: The serial number you have tried to activate is not licensed yet. (1021)
I have logged into my account on the NI website and it shows that Kore 2 is registered and activated to my account.

So, obviously this glitch is still not fixed?

I am new to NI and am not off to a good start!
My MOTU and Propellerhead products weren't this much of a hastle right out of the box.

Having installed Kore 2 and activated it, I installed my Komplete 5 'upgrade for owners of Kore 2' package, only to get the "1021" error message.

I checked both the service center and the webpage-based activation list, and kore 2 shows up in there, so I guess this problem is still happening?

This little ""glitch" nailed me on a Friday evening. I emailed tech support and had to wait until Monday for a response. Here is the response that I got, "one of the serial numbers you have used for your recent product activation caused a problem at our registration server due to a production error on our side. This problem has now be fixed by attaching the appropriate license to this serial number. Please repeat the product activation, it should work fine now. We would like to apologize for this problem and are very sorry for the inconveniences you encountered."

So I went back into the app, tried to activate again and it did work.

I would recommend you call tech support or email them your issue.

So far, I really do enjoy the product, but still hate the activation scheme.

sionix: yep, I just got my activation issue corrected today, and the exact same explanation

Thanks!

LOL! Sr3nitygirl, Glad to hear you are finally up and running. Good luck with the software!

Just happened to me, too. I bought the Kore/Komplete bundle. Installed and registered Kore with no issues. Tried installing and registering just the Akoustik Piano and got the ol' "1021".

An automated email from NI arrived soon after indicating the problem would be resolved in 24 hours. Unfortunately, it's a Friday night. Let's see if Tech Support works on Saturdays.

Very disappointing...

Sorry to say Brydo, they do not work on the weekend. At least they didn't when I had this problem.
I understand the need to protect their product and I actually resent those who rip it off, because of them we, the customers that DID pay for it, have to go through this nonsense.
I definitely though about returning it and going with a competing product. I am glad I held off. The suite is SWEET! The activation SUCKS! It is worse then Microsoft!

It's been five days, NI tech support does not reply to emails. I talked to a rep on the phone & sent them copies of my sales receipt, registration card and UPC symbols from the Komplete 5 box. I still cannot activate my product. I have no choice but to return the software.

As someone who makes a living as a commercial software developer, I would never think of putting one of my customers through this ordeal.

Hello from US support -- I checked and I believe this issue has been taken care of already by one of our techs. If you are still having problems please reply to me with your ticket number and I'll make sure the issue is resolved ASAP.

likwidface · #13 03-04-2009, 09:00

I installed and activated kore 2 with no problem. Yes, I bought the bundle package. komplete 5 gives me this message that its not licenced yet (1021) . It is irritating to spend good money and get denied. I've emailed tech support, at approximately 12:09pm on April 2nd, 2009. Lets see if it gets resolved within 24 hours.

dangerdawg · #14 26-04-2009, 22:10

I am having the same problem, sent in an email, hopefully it will be resolved tomorrow.

OmarChavezJr · #15 28-04-2009, 15:59

I purchased the KORE 2/KOMPLETE 5 bundle and had the same issue. Kore activated perfectly, but I got the 1021 error. I sent email to tech support. Hopefully problem will be resolved soon.
