Upgrade from Kontakt Version 2 to 6

What is required to install the upgrade version of Kontakt 6 onto a different machine than the one that was running Kontakt 2? The old machine (which was running Windows XP and Kontakt 2) is no longer functioning. I do have the original installation disc, but I no longer have the manual or any other paperwork that might have shipped with this product. I'd hate to buy version 6 and then not be able to install it. Thanks.

 

I have managed to locate my original manual and serial number card for my copy of Kontakt 2. As stated above, I have all the original discs as well. I am assuming that this is all I would need to install the upgrade to version 6. I would still appreciate it if someone would confirm that this is all I would need to install an authorize the new version. Thank you.

 

If you authorized Kontakt 2 under your NI User Account, and you still have that logon, that prior authorization is all you need to activate an upgrade version of Kontakt 6. You don't need to reinstall Kontakt 2.

When you install and attempt to authorize Kontakt 6 Update version you will have to enter the new Serial Number through the NI "Native Access" authorization/installation tool. The NI authorization server will "see" the new Serial Number is an update, and will check to see if you have a qualifying product authorized in their records.

I see the Kontakt 6 Update version is only $99. After you sign on to your User Account via the NI Website, you can see if you qualify for the $99 Kontakt 6 update.

With older products, like Kontakt 2, you can sign on to your NI User Account and see "My Products, Serials and Downloads".

Hi,

Recently I purchased Komplete 5 by the license transfer. All the component require registration through the Service Center, but it doesn’t work anymore. At the same time Native Access regards them as registered.

Is it possible to use K5 without update to the current version?

UPD. Banzai! FM8 started successfully after updating to version 1.4.1 (free, of course). I hope it will work with the others.

 

Hey Stanislav!
Did you manage to get everything activated?

 

Yes, thanks. Some of them didn’t accept the newest updates but even these vintage versions sound cool.
