How does anyone install cracked Maschine expansions and get them to actually work? They always request activation and I can't seem to find any instructions... I'm using windows and original maschine 2 software (mostly integrated with ableton if that helps)... Thanks and sorry if my question seems obvious!

 

I may be wrong but I'd assume those expansions would only work with a cracked version of the Maschine software

 

Hi and welcome @Tudor Dan
Well, you can't use shared libs with a non-cracked Maschine.
But this is how to do it when you get your cracked version!:
Go into Library/User in the standalone of Maschine, and you have to set (can't remember the exact word!) the name of the new library at the end of the line in the browser.
It has to be the same as the name of the folder.
Then quit and reopen and it will have added it.

Nah, ain't like that.
Only Maschine is cracked.
Shared libs work with cracked Maschine.

 

you can still locate/add the content via regedit in case of no setup install:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\Expansion Name
ContentDir C:\Users\Public\Documents\Expansion Name Library

 

With legit Maschine and shared expansions? Cool...

 

cool but still not activated without a valid serial for the legit way
forget the legit Maschine and use the unlocked one.
you don't have to keygen it if you own the legit one, so it will don't cut the update detection when new version will be out.

Long ago they borrowed me a Maschine Mikro 1st/old gen,
and installing the legit stuff was a real pita, it just wouldn't go.. so I ended to using the crackled version

 

Thank you all for the replies, I will try it, have a great week!

 

I am having difficulty getting the expansions to work with Maschine 2 bobdule. I own Maschine 2 and a couple expansions. I was experiencing problems with load times using the install off Native Access so went Bobdule version. Unfortunately the expansions are not loading when opening within Cubase 12. Says to register.
Any help is appreciated.
