    I downloaded a cracked version of Reaktor5 a while ago, and while I haven't got round to purchasing a full version yet, i can see an update for version 5.9.0 in the NI Service Center.

    My Reaktor 5 is on version 5.8.0 currently. So, can I download this update from Service center to my version? OR will it then become uncracked!? Thanks.

    Ah, there's one on Audioz is there? Okay sweet. I can download that one even if it's not form the same person/place that i downloaded my current Reaktor 5 from, yes?

    Okay, found the 5.9.0 on Audioz. Reading through the comments is scaring me though.. It seems that i should delete the version i currently have (cracked Reaktor 5, 5.8.0) and download the demo version form NI.. Is this right? Then all i need to do is downlaod that cracked 5.9.0 version and then its sorted?

    if you want to play it safe you can just grab the Reakor5.dll & Reakor5.exe from the new release and use both the new & the old version or just backup the old version files and overwrite them

    That's it, i'll just need to find the AU and stand alone files. Do they have those at Audioz? Haven't seen just cracked Reaktor 5.9.0 au/component and stand alone files.

    Strange right? It's cracked copy of Reaktor 5, and for some reason, there's an update for the latest version of it in the Service Center.. How is that? I'm wondering if applying that update will overwrite my cracked copy. hm.


    Also, i have a cracked Kontakt 5, and it appears in Service Center with a serial number typed in the boxes, though when i click 'activate' it does say 'error, number not valid".. Strange

    So basically just download the Reaktor 5.9.0 cracked MAC OSX from Audioz, and just drag the AU/component file into the respective folder in my mac, (replace the current kontakt 5 component. And same for the App?

    NEVER EVER EVER EVER UPDATE CRACKED APPS IN SERVICE CENTER

    I cant say that enough. It will not ever work. If it does work it will break your crack and it wont work unless you have the full version.


    But you got the right people on the case. Me and Kontakt Guru are Native Instrument heads. We know are NI stuff.


    At Artic:

    It wont work unless its registered. It appears, but then you need an NI account with the software registered (this is OSX based, maybe not same for PC).

    By back up, do you mean just save the files that im replacing? So copy the current Reaktor 5 component file and the files that i used to install the Kontakt 5 app? I do have them stored on an external HD! :)

    Hm, do you happen to now anyone who has just the cracked reaktor5.9.0 component, and the cracked Reaktor5.9.0 app? Or should i just download this from Audioz

    And just install everything?

    Hmm. It seems I somehow, already have Reaktor5 VST files in Library/audio/VST... Screen Shot 2014-05-27 at 19.19.59.png

    But, the Reaktor component i have, is 5.8.0, and the App is 5.8.0.

    I did however find this on my externalHD, Reaktor5.9.0 crack... Screen Shot 2014-05-27 at 19.22.52.png

    So i don't need to download anything. It has the cracked App, component, and VST, etc. So that's cool.

    The READ ME install instructions say this: Screen Shot 2014-05-27 at 19.24.15.png

    So, does that literally just mean:

    1. Install the cracked Reaktor5.9.0 app
    2.delete my current Reaktor5.8.0 app and the current component and VST
    3. then drag in cracked 5.9.0 component and VST - as well as drag cracked Reaktor 5.9.0 App to wherever the app is currently saved now/directory.

    Yes? :)

    your welcome

    it's a trick from N.I to cause havoc on noobs, luckily your not one right lol

    Nah it's because the service center doesn't know the difference between libraries

    You can get a full version of Reaktor for a 75% discount direct from N.I at the moment, i paid just £89 instead of £339 a few days ago. Deal runs out tomorrow i think so act fast if you want it :)

    Haha, I actually thought that was what it was... NI do it so that people use Service Center to update their cracked software, thus rendering it useless, until I supose they get another cracked copy.. But yeah.

    I got the email about this... So tempting!! I'm just having to pay out some money to get my Traktor Audio 10 soundcard fixed with NI.. So paying out for Reaktor as well is too much atm. I'm going to wait until I get a nice bigger and more powerful iMac and then im really going to branch out and get lots of NI software, possibly Komplete9!
