    Realized I didn’t have Massive set up on a laptop that I’m getting ready for someone, decided to download Native Access so I could just get the latest version from my account, can I uninstall Native Access after installing a plugin from it and will it still be registered? And could I reinstall it to install plugin updates? I am making sure I don’t leave any traces or any accounts but I still wanted to make sure Massive works, especially since the “museum” might be a little behind on quick access versions that can be installed without much additional setup or unlocking

    Move it out of the place it is supposed to be to somewhere easy to move it back, like your desktop.

    I did that, uninstall Native Access after installing Massive and a few others. With Massive and FM8 I did not have any issues, so you should be fine. But a few Reaktor and Kontakt Libraries, even though they were unlocked, silently stopped without warning after 20 minutes or so. Re-Installing Native Access made them work again. I also installed TinyWall so nothing can upload usage data or download unwanted updates.

    Ok, I will uninstall once I come back to the laptop, currently away right now and waiting to get back to send some updates

    Why so complicated? Might as well install cracked massive and Reaktor, since like this it is not legit anyway and then it is not tied to you in any way.

    i own a few NI products, but i always install R2R versions. Just easier to deal with it.

    Couldn’t find updated versions that were at the latest version from the “museum” so I just used the version from native access because I own the plugins, anything more current might have been a slow download and limited attempts per day and I have a feeling native access had updated versions from after when the last posts were made for those plugins
