    Hi,

    I searched the Kontakt tread and didn't find any answerer to this.

    I'll buy Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO) and I am also thinking of crossupgrading GPO to latest Kontakt.

    Look at:
    http://www.nativeinstruments.de/index.php?upgradesshop_de&no_cache=1

    Will I then have 2 licenses so I can download new updates to GPO after crossupgrading to latest Kontakt, or will there be 1 license left - the latest Kontakt?

    If so, 1 license left, will Kontakt work good with GPO and can I anyway get the benefits of new GPO stuff in the future?

    Have I understood this right?

    Please, uplight me!

    =)

    Edit: Sorry, awfully English

    it does not matter because if you bought GPO then upgrades are free on Garritans Page. If you haven't already you should get the latest free update. If you bought Kontakt then that will work for Kontakt Registration, if you bought GPO then that will work for GPO registration. I own both by the way. you can not use one for the other when updating the product. Atleast this is how i understand it.

    Crossupgradeproblems?

    HI, thxs for your answerer!

    But if I get you right, correct me if I missunderstood you:

    A) I can't use Kontakt and GPO in the same time... or (Yes/No)

    B1) I can't have 2 licenses if I crossupgrade from GPO to Kontakt... and (Yes/No)

    B2) Instead of GPO:s kontaktplayer I use Kontakt with all Kontakts advantages... (Yes/No)

    C) Can I still download GPO latest upgrades afterwards owning a crossupgrade of Kontakt from GPO? (Yes/No)

    D) If no to question C will then updates/upgrades to Kontakt improve GPO in same way as GPO:s updates from their webbpage? (Yes/No)

    Seeing forward for a reply from you or any kind soul...

    =)

    A) I can't use Kontakt and GPO in the same time... or (Yes/No)

    You can use Kontakt and GPO at the same time on the same machine. I set the sustain pedal to legato mode in Kontakt and run the GPO player with the sustain pedal in regular sustain mode.

    B1) I can't have 2 licenses if I crossupgrade from GPO to Kontakt... and (Yes/No)

    The licenses for GPO and Kontakt are separate. You can install GPO on 2 machines and Kontakt on 2 machines. These can be the same machines. As long as GPO has been registered, you can open the GPO content inside Kontakt.

    B2) Instead of GPO:s kontaktplayer I use Kontakt with all Kontakts advantages... (Yes/No)

    Yes. Beware that you need to set CC21 to 64 in your sequencer to have the correct releases inside Kontakt. There is a default release value programmed into the latest version of GPO that the player supports but Kontakt doesn't.

    C) Can I still download GPO latest upgrades afterwards owning a crossupgrade of Kontakt from GPO? (Yes/No)

    Yes.

    D) If no to question C will then updates/upgrades to Kontakt improve GPO in same way as GPO:s updates from their webbpage? (Yes/No)

    All updates work in Kontakt (except the CC21 as noted above) as the library is programmed using the full Kontakt program.

    Hopefully this answers all your questions.
