Hi, do you mean uninstall all Kontakt instruments? or uninstall the Kontakt player?
Anyway, the answer of @RenwickHoek did solve my problem of wanting to use both the player and the portable version

 

Thanks, the problem is already solved... and Kontakt portable is under "Native Instruments".

 

Don't know if it's like this for anyone else but this solution isn't working for me anymore. Tried installing a newer version of KONTAKT 7 Portable and now neither the new nor the old version works anymore. If I ever manage to get it working again I'm not touching it.

 

I had some problems with the legit player and the Portable version co-existing so I just deleted the legit one and manually copied the portable VST3 to the default VST3 folder.

 

Thanks for finding a solution. Appreciated.

Just FYI. With the portable version of Kontakt, you can use demo instruments without a time limit.

Don't know, whether the legit version has any other advantages over the portable version.

 

is it possible to make a cubase project switch every kontakt 8 track to Kontakt 8 portable automatically ? I want to use the portable version but right now I have the bobdule regular version, and the portable version do not appear on my vst on cubase. Before uninstalling the regular bobdule version I would like to be sure that cubase can switch the tracks

edit : Okay I pulled the trigger and deleted the bobdule version. Cubase found the Portable version and it works fine. My question is how to reinstall the bobdule version but I don't want cubase to recognize it as "Kontakt 8" so that it doesn't use the bobdule version by default !

Just install it. Let Cubase scan for new plugins and then disable it in plugin manager. That way it will only see your portable version.
