    NI –EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!


    As a long time legit customer of NI for over 16 years, no doubt that NI for me lost the “road” to a better place long time ago!

    For the last 7 years or so EVERY time NI releases any kind of news…It has some shitty and negative side to it. I hope you guys the artists realize now that almost every “upgrade” or changes they make it is for their benefits and not yours! With their everlasting so called upgrades and changes, they really gives a shit about us the artists.

    I can’t even count the amount of frustrated musicians I know that went through NI upgrades in the last several years and spent more time “fixing” or troubleshooting stuff in the studio than making music!

    After this I’LL NOT BUY ANY PRODUCT from NI anymore! Thank god that I kept some good k’d product as well for some gloomy days.
    I pray that every single product by NI will forever get cracked! They sure deserve it.

    Another reason to change the slogan from "Try before you buy" to "Try free 4 life"

    There's an easter egg here, if you know what I mean.

    I still use FL Studio 7 even though FL Studio 20 is out. I still play Mario Kart 64 even though I own a PS4. I also still play most of the old WWE Smackdown vs Raw PS2 games even though there is WWE 2k20. WHY? BECAUSE I WANT TO... Bottom line is if you bought a product, it is yours to keep. If it were product licensing or rental, that would be a completely different story but it is not. I would understand if NI no longer offered support or updates etc. for old, outdated software but preventing a user from installing and accessing a legally purchased item because they want you to buy the newer version is plain unethical. Unfortunately, if they had added some kind of legal notification during installation in the terms of agreement in RECENT software updates (that may or may not have altered your previous licensing or terms), then there isn't much anyone can do. This is like FORD saying you must buy a newer modeled mustang because you are no longer allowed to drive your 1966 classic. BTW, we are taking away your keys and removing your car engine + any future engines you decide to replace it with.

    Shut up or learn how to read first. Do u really think you arre one of the "few" who owns legit software? If you want to kiss NI's ass go to their site but dont come here with that shit. What you said is got nothing to do with what the OP said and what others are complaining about.

    It was a dumb move. No one wants to buy from a company selling digital bricks, can't believe they didn't see how the customer would immediately relate this to what they currently support and how long till they cut it off from being allowed to use.

    I'll do some SEO in a couple days and see how far "Native Instruments Crack" went up on search engines after that crap.

    @Stryves I've been with Appen Butler Hill on the side for a while now. I can see it escalating already.

    JUST STOP BUYING NI PRODUCTS.

    Simple as that. I want to see their faces with their tongue out once people stop buying NI products!
    This is ALL about control!! They think they can do anything and people will follow them like bunch of sheep!

    They suck and they totally lost me.
