Do you mean you put both libraries in the same folder?
Explain more on how Kontakt 5 is not-working,, as much detail as possible would be great. Thanks

 

ok!

Initial situation: Kontakt 4 Library installed (48Gb). Kontakt 4 not working, crashes as soon as opened.

Step 1: I install Kontakt 5 and run it. It opens the sounds from Kontakt 4 Library individually, although it doesn't add it as a library (not a problem, no .nicnt file but I don't mind). Some wallpapers are missing too, not a problem as well for me.

Step 2: I install Kontakt 5 Factory Library (25Gb) and move Kontakt 4 Library out of Machintosh HD/users/shared folder. Next, I open Kontakt 5, but it doesn't work: "Kontakt 4 Library not found".

Step 3: I put back Kontakt 4 Library into Machintosh HD/users/shared folder. I reopen Kontakt 5. It says: "missing .nicnt file. Expected at Machintosh HD/users/shared folder/Kontakt 4 Library.

Step 4: I copy the .nicnt file from the Kontakt 5 Factory Library folder and paste it into Kontakt 4 Library. Next, I open Kontakt 5: it works, the database works, the library is there and no missing wallpapers.

Everything working fine! My question is: is this the proper way or did I miss something? I ask this because I thought that I could get rid of Kontakt 4 Library and save some space, but seems that I will have to keep both libraries.

 

Your only mistake was moving the Kontakt 5.nicnt to the Kontakt 4 Factory library folder!!!
Kontakt 4 has it's own .nicnt, to fix this correctly you will need both .nicnt and clean your plist & xmls

put the kontakt 5 .nicnt back in the kontakt 5 library folder

Navigate to the following folders:
Mac OS: Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Native Instruments > Service Center

Delete the "kontakt 5.xml" file

Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.native-instruments.Kontakt 5.plist
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences >com.native-instruments.Content.plist (delete the kontakt 5 library info, you can use perfsetter or plistpro)

now add Kontakt 4 & 5 libraries in kontakt and all should be well, also if you don't have any projects that don't use kontakt 4 you can delete from your HDD if your using kontakt 5 library!! Your choice

Cheers

 

Solved! Thank you!

 

my pleasure..Have a great one

 

Hi, if I open vst instrument in my Kontakt 5.3.0 is then in my vst Instrumment demo fromIlya Efimov - Acoustic Guitar.Does anyone know why?Thx all

 

More info about your set-up would help??

Anyhow it seems your using a unregistered library with a legit kontakt ..Aint happening

 

I've been having the 'patch is encrypted message' on the mac for years now, and I still have no found a solution. For a short time some of the libraries worked; 'Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass', 'Symphonic Sphere', but then after doing a recovery on the computer and starting from scratch I have never been able to get them working again.

I've tried all the methods listed here, so if anyone does know what to do then do let me know. I am using the latest 5.3 version from r2r, and have tried previous versions such as 5.0.1, and 5.0.3 today. All have the same problems for similar libraries. Any help is much appreciated

Hi there,

I'm on Mac OS X lion 10.7.5, and I don't know why the little installer that is supposed to give access to specific multi files won't run at all (it's named Adagio Violins_1_1_MacOSX_Installer ).

Any idea why ?

though I still have acces to all nki files,

sham.

 

That installer is mainly for the GUI(pictures) of the library that installs itself in your kontakt 5 documents folders, if you like i can send you the extracted folder to use the multi patches?

 

Hello Kontak Guru,

yes, that would be very kind for the multi patches,

I'm having trouble too with the Audiobro LASS2 Full & the ART GUI, but as I'm not at home right know I can't be more specific.

All seems ok with the Adagio Violins,

but I don't have time to test now the Audiobro,

All I need now is a whole lot of time to learn those V.I.

thanx a lot for your help.

Hey Kontakt Guru, I Just recently added the KH Pop Rock Strings ESA over my old Pop Rock Strings. Everything is fine in Standalone and AU, but for some reason it says activate and stays in demo mode when opened as a VST. Tried what was posted here previously by trashing pref files, xml's, even re installed and still no luck…. Im running 10.8.5 iMac 2.93 i7 16gb P.S - All other libraries (Even one's added after this) are fine. I was thinking if i could find the wallpaper it might be easier to just make a .ncint for it but haven't found one yet…any idea's on a quick fix for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

What's up SBeats,
Are you running both a legit Kontakt and a K'd Version?
Is both Pop Strings versions still loaded in kontakt? What do you mean when you say "recently added the KH Pop Rock Strings ESA over my old Pop Rock Strings"
What Version is your Kontakt?5.0.3 /5.3.0
if you make your own .nicnt you will get the patch is encrypted message.

 

I'm only running a k'd version of Kontakt 5.3.0 I don't have any legit versions installed. What I did was take the contents of the ESA version and put them in the old pop rock strings folder then re batched. After that is when the activation tab appeared in vst but not au or standalone. So I removed the library and tried re- adding with no luck. I even tried re adding the original pop rock strings folder it still says activate. Still not understanding why this only affects kontakt in vst format but all other formats the library shows up and works fine.

Ps I removed and added the library back several times trying to fix but honestly don't know if both pop rock strings libraries are in the tab or not it only shows 1 visible in the tab, the new ESA but the wallpaper is identical to the old so I'm not sure.

 

That was a bad idea, the Pop strings ESA contains the old library and all the latest updates, you should of deleted the old library cleared it's plists,xml, and added the new one to make sure this issues didn't happen.

Do you still have the rars for ESA library?? You need to start fresh but if you don't we are going to have to Hack & Saw!!!!

 

No I don't have the rars anymore but I can download them again if the links are still up.... If not hack and saw time! Lol!
