    Dear all,

    I need help badly. I mixture of legitimate and cracked libraries which was working very well in kontakt before installing Version 5.5.2.880 by tracer.

    Activate / Demo mode start to appear "only" on my legitimate libraries.

    For those crack libraries worked well and normal.

    I use the Kontakt player as an plugin in Ableton under windows and it worked fine in the past.

    Please kindly advice.

    Your help will be greatly appreciate

    skin

    Dear All,

    So sorry for the late reply. not sure why i didn't receive any email alert from audiosex when you guys post me a question.

    Anyway my solution is:
    1.) Close all kontakt 5 plugin from your DAW
    2.) Go to Regedit and delete whatever library that are having in demo mode
    3.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Native Instruments\libraryname
    4.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\libraryname
    5.) Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Service Center and delete the demo xml files
    6.) Reopen kontakt 5 and add library to check. if it is ok.. well done.
    7.) *If still not working, please check your NICNT.file. just in case you are using crack library. please see below.

    *Note: If your crack library have NICNT files and the SNPID number has been used up and crashes if the exisiting SNPID, try using another bigger 3 digit number or so.

    It's seem to works for me without problem.

    Good Luck.

    Why don't you update to kontakt 5.5.4 which is fully cracked?

    Respect for TRACER, but i never use is releases, because i had issues with some of them.
    I always wait for R2R releases. They are the best.

    but sadly there wasn't Kontakt updates from R2R since version 5.5.0, was there? seems not a big problem for now, but one day, trying to open a new library, and a nasty message will appear "patch is created with newer version of Kontakt". and it's game over. so unless R2R wants to get back to releasing Kontakt updates, Tracer's work is a gem.

    Hi Tracer, I think we should be the one thanking you.

    Even though I have the legitimate kontakt 5 player. I don't use it at all and not bother by it's latest update or whatsoever. Guess u guys know It is consider useless if can't use others cracked wonderful libraries out there.

    I always admire and appreciate the many gifted people behind creating the libraries and do have guilt using the cracked version.

    I also appreciate and thanks the crackers for making it possible to help us to explore it.

    All the best!

    I've been torturing myself and family, staying sleepless and combing through the whole internet, but information is so scarce. Hopefully somebody here has some idea.

    I got the same Kontakt 5 and the factory sounds (from tracer) and while I was able to activate Kontakt in standalone (the factory library loads over there and it's all good), but when I open Kontakt from within Pro Tools and try to load the sounds, I get them in demo mode and can only use for a short period of time before it asks me to activate.

    What can I do?

    Kracked Kontakt doesn't work in Pro Tools unless PT is cracked. The easiest was if you used Kontakt 5.3 [.dpm] RTAS with PT 9 or 10.
    Hope that helps.

    I'm having trouble with the cracked version of Kontakt. Kontakt seems to be working in Standalone mode but when i try to use it in Cubase all the plugins associated to kontakt go DEMO.

    I was told to Copy and paste CKontakt into the VST folder but still nothing. I also tried created a path but Cubase Blacklisted via Plugin manager... Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Thank you!

    How did you get around the demo activate thing that happens every 15 minutes? Please help, I'm pulling my hair out. I'm also on Mac and have the free Kontakt Player and a cracked library but I can't find demo xml files anywhere. Please help, on Mac.
