Want to reformat hard drive. Should I deactivate Komplete?

Hello all!

I am trying to get my new DAW working 100% but it's being difficult. I have already installed and activated via service center my Komplete 7. I need to format my current hard drive in order to reinstall the OS, however, I don't want to mess up my licensing and activation of Komplete 7. How should I go about this? Do I have to deactivate anything before I format? Or do I just wipe out my hard drive and re-install Komplete.

Thank you for your help and time.

anyone?

 

Users can no longer "deactivate their licenses". Just go ahead and reformat your hard drive, install the OS, install the NI software, then authorize the NI software through NI Service Center.

As long as you don't excessively reauthorize your NI products, you will be fine.

 

Thank you Martin, I appreciate the info.

Please let me know how many times are we allowed to reauthorize?Is the reauthorizing considered as a new authorizing or will NI know that it is dealing with the same PC?I am runnng into the same issue since my PC too had crashed & would like to have more clarity on this issue,since I plan to get a new Mac soon & would like to install K6 on it too.

 

There is no current set limit as far as I know.

Your license allows three activations. The intent is to be able to install on three different computers, assuming you only use the product on one computer at a time (e.g. 1 copy on studio computer, 1 copy on home laptop).

I assume NI only monitors for abusive installs -- i.e. a large number of activations.

I wouldn't worry about re-installing it on your PC and then on a Mac.
