    Hey guys, I own the legit Kontakt and I am unable to use Librarys with a Native Instrument .exe Installers. When I install the librarys they only open up as Demo Version and I can see them in my Native Access but I can only reinstall them there.
    Is there a way how I can make the .exe installer librarys work in my legit Kontakt?



    I just came across another Thread meaning I should get Kontakt Portable. Are you able to run both legit and Portable at the same time in the same project?
    And with Kontakt Portable I would be able to use the .exe native instrument installer librarys?

    I appreciate everybody's answer!

    1. what do you mean "legit kontakt": legit full or legit player?
    2. which libraries?
    3. are these libraries legit too (you must have serial number for each)?

    Legit Full.

    For example Output Signal v1.3.1

    And I thought every Library is legit as there is no such thing as "cracked" librarys but not I dont have a serial number.

    No. Libraries that working with Kontakt Player requires a serial number. Use cracked Kontakt for these libraries (if you don't have a license for any of these libraries).

    Alright so with a cracked Kontakt I could use the .exe native installer librarys? Am I able to run both legit and cracked in one session?
    And is cracked Kontakt = Kontakt portable or do i need to have my full legit Kontakt and a cracked Kontakt which is not portable?

    Hi coldwatrr,

    yes you can use both in one project ... just assure, that your k'd libs do not appear in native access ... so keep your env clean and always separate k'd libs from paid ones ... so k'd from Kontakt Portable (e.g. from sister site) and official ones in your legit kontakt.

    Best

    if you use the setup version, simply rename dll exe aax (if you want to keep both) before install
    or your legit version will be replaced by the unlocked one.

    it will not break anything, you can also replace the legit one directlly.
    but if you re install or update from native access, it will revert to serial mode = demo for unregistered Libraries. that's all.

    Yeah, there is no "portable" version for OSX that I know of... so not sure how to address that...

    If anybody is interested, i got my problem solved. I got myself the Kontakt Portable, installed the Library in the Portable Kontakt Library Folder and added it by using the Library Tool. Now I just use Kontakt Portable for these kinds of Libraries!

    I have a problem similar to one that has been solved and was hoping for a bit of guidance. I do have kontakt portable or I get whatever came with the m32 controller. I use portable though. I have installed libraries via the library manager tool but it has been some time ago so maybe I am missing a step. A friend sent me a bass instrument library and it has a few folders in the main one, instrument folder containing .nki and a samples folder containing many files and a snapshot folder.

    anyhow. I pointed the library manager at the root folder of the software and it found no libraries. I tried with each sub folder and it did not find any libraries. I’m stuck and hoping for some advice.

    thanks in advance

    not all libraries can be added to library tab.
    if instrument main folder doesn't contain file with extension "nicnt" - this was made for kontakt full and you can't add this library to library tab.
    just load nki into kontakt - double click in kontakt browser or drag'n'drop from explorer/finder.

    In Fl Studio, I just scanned for Plugins and checked the Kontakt Portable x64 and if I am in a Project all I really do is open both instances. Like legit Kontakt and Kontakt Portable. Make sure to install Kontakt Portable in a different directory and not the same one as the legit Kontakt.

    I tried to do that by opening portable in Reaper and then dragging the nki into the library and it did not load.

    .nki is a kontakt instrument. It has nothing to do with the libraries. You can only drag the .nki file directly to the Multi Rack (big black space in the middle of Kontakt. It's an instrument, NOT a library (so you wont see it in the Libraries at the left)

    Alternatively you can go to Files (the second category in the upper left corner) and simply find the folder where the instrument is located in the upper box. You should see your .nki in the lower box - drag it to the right in the Rack. (this is useful if you run your DAW as administrator).
