    Hello everybody!

    I'm saving up money to finally buy a sample library for Native Instrument's KONTAKT. When I get this library, I surely get some kind of registration code and all that good stuff to use this. But I use KONTAKT cracked, and I don't even have a Native Instruments account. So I'd go ahead and activate the purchased library with my keygen to use it along with a few cracked libraries, until I have a legit version of Kontakt and every other Library that I want to use, and then use their legit registration code to activate it and finally become clean.

    Could this work?
    Does anybody know if I need to be careful there? Will any information be stored in the libraries themselves for Kontakt to check if they have already been activated, and with which code? Or doesn't this work with a keygen at all, because each Library only can be activated with a certain code? Do I need to somehow clean Kontakt before logging in so that they don't lock my account because I have libraries registered that don't belong to my account?

    I really want to get legit, but it involves a few steps. Until then I'd love to use my cracked libraries at the same time as the bought one(s).


    I hope I was able to make my point clear!
    If not, please don't hesitate to ask! I don't know if I'm a little overcautious, but I really don't know how all that stuff works, so I hope somebody is able to tell me!

    Thank you!
    - Venom

    Save your code for when you get legit kontakt just run the lib in crack kontakt for now. Libraries arent crack kontakt is no such thing as a cracked kontakt library.

    You simply install/copy the library to your HDD and use ADD LIBRARY in cracked Kontakt = done.

    EDIT: Not R2R Kontakt, the other one, the "symlink no install" version. No keygen needed.

    Alright. I suppose I was a little overcautious then. Thank you guys very much for your quick answers! Sounds really simple!

    @boogiewoogie
    I'm indeed using the R2R release. You say the "symlink no install" version is better? Or does it just make it easier for add libraries to KONTAKT?

    You will only get a registration code if it is a Kontakt Player library. Look at the product page for the keywords "Full Version" or "Kontakt Player".

    Full Version: Will work on (even legit) Kontakt without any keygen.
    Kontakt Player: Licensed NI library which requires keygen etc.

    The R2R keygen is limited to which libraries have been added, and when it was updated. For example, some brand new libraries are not included. It might be a good idea to check the keygen beforehand. The Symlink version uses a different method that will basically add any library.

    I just took a look, and it turned out that it's a Kontakt Player library. So it's like Robbie said - I save the code until I have legit Kontakt, and for now, just add it and use a Keygen (or that no-install version if I have trouble), right?

    And thank you for the explanations, that's really helpful!
