The following list serves as a rough guide, more exact shipping times for your country are given during check-out. Please note that there may be delays on rare occasions or in remote areas.
Your data will be handled confidentially and encrypted with SSL (Secure-Socket-Layer) secure server software. The encrypted information of your order, your name, address, credit card or bank details cannot be read by any third party. Credit card payments will also be verified through the 3D secure procedure.
We offer demo versions for most of our software, which you may download directly from our website. These versions are fully functional, but will close down automatically after 15 or 30 minutes. You will find the link for any available demo in the navigation bar of the respective product page. We also offer free trials for subscription services. The length of each trial is shown on the product page. Furthermore, many resellers will also allow you to test our products before buying.
Any download version can be downloaded directly after your purchase - you will receive your personal serial number via e-mail. With a boxed version you´ll receive a physical product, and your personal serial number will be in the package.
No. If you buy a boxed product, please wait for your delivery - the serial number is in the product box.
After ordering you will promptly receive an order confirmation via e-mail. After the order has been processed in our database, the package will leave our warehouse on the same day, or, at the latest, the following work day. Orders via pre-payment (Vorkasse) are sent out on the day we receive the payment.
Some e-mail services incorrectly flag automated messages from our servers as spam - if you don´t receive anything, please check your spam folders first. You may also accidentally have provided an incorrect e-mail address - in this case please contact our Order-Support to check whether we received your order.
Yes. You will receive your invoice in PDF format via e-mail when your order is sent out to you. For subscription services, an invoice will be generated on the day of payment/renewal, which can be downloaded in PDF format in your MY ACCOUNT section on our website.
On rare occasions or in remote areas there sometimes might be a delay. NI unfortunately has no influence on this. If the announced shipping times are exceeded significantly, please contact our Order-Support with your order number.
After a shipment reaches your country it might be subject to import duties and taxes. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, contact your local customs office for further information. To facilitate the customs process, we reserve the right to inform customs of the value of goods within the packages. For the same reason, customs officials are permitted to open packages. Native Instruments has no influence over this procedure.
Your serial number is sent automatically via e-mail within 30-120 minutes. Sometimes, though, it takes longer — even longer than 2 hours, so please consider this before contacting order support. Also, some e-mail services incorrectly flag automated messages from our servers as spam. If you don't receive anything, please check your spam folders. You can also log in to your personal account and find your serial number in the section My products and serials. If you can't find your serial number, please contact our Order-Support with your order number.

The abbreviation VAT stands for value added tax and is an indirect tax. If you have a company within the EU (but outside of Germany, France, or England) and you have a valid and registered VAT ID in the EU, then you can register as a business customer by entering the VAT ID in the field provided. The German VAT is then deducted automatically from the gross sales price. Before entering your tax code, please make sure that you are authorized to purchase without VAT within the EU – otherwise, please leave the optional VAT ID field blank.
These stickers are only on products sold in California, USA. We’ve added these notifications in order to comply with Proposition 65 – a law that only applies in California. This law was originally passed to protect California drinking water, but it now requires manufacturers to notify California residents if their products contain even minuscule amounts of one of more than 900 listed chemicals. If you'd like to investigate this law further, follow this link to the California agency that oversees it.
