    if you can get crossover, you will be alright... if it's not the case, there's not much to do and some cracked software stopped working on catalina....

    Best thing to do is install WIndows 7 64 bit in Virtual Box for OSX. Lot's of WIndows 7 lite editons but STAY AWAY FROM THOSE as you may have to install addons like the C++ Visual packs.
    Some plugins require those to be installed ( well as most software anyways).

    That is what I would do. Keep it simple and Virtual Box makes things easy as you can run the keygens an see the numbers without rebooting.

    Useless bit of advice, virtualbox is virtualiztion software, not emulation.

    Virtualbox does not exist for m1 mac machines.

    Sadly for M1 users( checked on the Virtual box site)
    "ARM does not have VT-x/AMD-v"

    So Virtual Box is dead on the Mac m1 ( as Oracle is holding the code now)

    Parallels = Half baked version
    Oracle = Won't even go there
    Vmware = Announced that it was working on an Apple Silicon-compatible version of its virtualization software. No other details were revealed, however.

    So for now might as well grap a cheap intel 150$ pc used and forget about it lol.

    each of the solutions to run windows on a mac seems far more complicated than getting a windows laptop for 15 dollars and use that.

    so basically you're saying that it's easier to buy a windows laptop (that you wont find for 15 dollars) then to install crossover which has been confirmend to be working by several members in this thread. yeah nah makes total sense

    suprised me that someone hasnt suggested playonmac yet, also confirmed to be working on big sur, and best of all it's legal and it's free

    yes, sure.

    when you for a moment take into account that the OP is a former windows user and that there normally is a windows PC in every household (son! i need your PC for my keygens! push over or else!) he might even already have one.

    the requirement to run a keygen app is not neccessarily an 28-core, any PC from the bulky waste will do. i got most of my PC laptops for free and this seems more logical than installing new apps on the audio mac which you first have to know about, then download, then install...

    the install is literally a drag and drop action, mac and windows aren't that much different from eachother and the software that's being suggested speaks for itself

    double click (or right click if you have a few winport apps and want to select a dif one than the one that is made default) on the keygen.exe and it will automatically open with playonmac or crossover or whatever you wanna use

    Nope. I repeat: There are no such things as cracked libraries. Only cracked Kontakt.
    All shared libraries play in cracked Kontakt.

    Kontakt is software; it has to be cracked.
    Libraries are just samples.
    Maybe you are referring to the old serial shares such that legit Kontakt could play shared libraries?
    As far as I know that died out a long time ago.
