    I can't figure this out. Why would it ask that?

    This kind of question is just one small step away from "my car won't start, what's wrong with it?"...

    More info on your side would be a very good way to go forward in getting help my friend.

    Well.. I know how it feels..! I had a same problem in the past long ago..! and I don't remember how it happend..! I think it was some of Kontakt files I deleted by accident , while cleaning my Mac from Junk..! and I think that was Kontakt related receipt or preferences something like that ..! you check it if you didn't delete by accident ..! Anyways .. There is way to fix it easy way..! You just need to Uninstall All Kontakt related files from your System..!and install it from scratch..! I MEAN clean install..! Then it should work..!

    And. Sorry my English not that good..!

    Here is the uninstall tool .. click this link ..! Download , open it , choose Kontakt .. Uninstall..!
    Link removed. Read our rules!

    Hope this will help..!

    damn that pesky NI Service Center :wink: :rofl:

    @ Piano Man

    1) Mac or PC ?
    2) Version No / Release ?
    3) have you deleted any NI software / installed any new NI software recently ?
    4) was it working before 3) ?
    5) what is the answer to life, the universe and everything?

    The service center is still installed. Should it not be?

    Just a stab in the dark, but there is a chance when you installed a new NI vst that it installed a non-cracked service center, which effectively disabled the crack.

    Possible. (I don't know enough about Kontakt to argue that hypothesis) except that all my other downloaded libraries are still working. This one never worked from the start but I didn't think a cracked Kontakt would care about activation.

    how was that library installed, did you run an installer or manually copied the library?

    Does you DAW / NI Service Center have access to the internet?

    was there an NFO file inside the rars, and did you read it to check for any installation instructions?

    How many Partridges can you see in a pear tree?

    1. Just copied files and chose "Add Library

    2. I think so. Never had issues with other lib's reading "Not activated" in Service Center

    3. No nfo contained in download

    4. 4-5, but more when I look thru the scope of the rifle!

    Do you think it's possible to simply apply the Kontakt patch again?

    How old is this particular library?

    Just found an nfo for an old 2004 release by TEAM DELiRiUM of "Best Service Artist Grooves", needs keygen to register :dunno:


    Partridges do not live in trees, a trick question :rofl:

    42 = life, the universe, and everything :wink:
