    Hi, do you mean uninstall all Kontakt instruments? or uninstall the Kontakt player?
    Anyway, the answer of @RenwickHoek did solve my problem of wanting to use both the player and the portable version :)

    Don't know if it's like this for anyone else but this solution isn't working for me anymore. Tried installing a newer version of KONTAKT 7 Portable and now neither the new nor the old version works anymore. If I ever manage to get it working again I'm not touching it.

    I had some problems with the legit player and the Portable version co-existing so I just deleted the legit one and manually copied the portable VST3 to the default VST3 folder.

    Thanks for finding a solution. Appreciated.

    Just FYI. With the portable version of Kontakt, you can use demo instruments without a time limit.

    Don't know, whether the legit version has any other advantages over the portable version.

    is it possible to make a cubase project switch every kontakt 8 track to Kontakt 8 portable automatically ? I want to use the portable version but right now I have the bobdule regular version, and the portable version do not appear on my vst on cubase. Before uninstalling the regular bobdule version I would like to be sure that cubase can switch the tracks

    edit : Okay I pulled the trigger and deleted the bobdule version. Cubase found the Portable version and it works fine. My question is how to reinstall the bobdule version but I don't want cubase to recognize it as "Kontakt 8" so that it doesn't use the bobdule version by default !

    Just install it. Let Cubase scan for new plugins and then disable it in plugin manager. That way it will only see your portable version.
