    don't use version 5.6 it asks you to relocate all your libraries.. and after restarting kontakt, it will ask evrytime again

    Thanks for the advices. I think I'll stay with v. 5.5 which is perfectly stable.
    The problem is that between 3-4 months all the new libraries will only work with 5.6 version ... so what will we do?

    I updated to 5.6 today. Install, register with KGen (v2.0.81) and that was it. New version, desktop and vst, up and running, only (not really a) problem all my libraries display "Activate" but they still function as before.
    No relocating/re-adding libraries. I removed and added a few libraries with no problems.

    Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM, Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit, GeForce GTX 780 (an oldie but still works OK), 2x24 inch, 1920x1200 Monitors.

    I updated to 5.6.0 yesterday. All worked as in previous version, but I didnĀ“t like the graphic interface and the maximum extension of the window on screen and returned to my previous 5.5.2. And the two libraries which disappear from tab after registering them, still disappear after registering again, so this new version is unuseful for me. But the newer version worked normally after execute keygen.

    Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit. Here's a screenshot.

    I like the minor GUI upgrades, mostly new keyboard display, also it seems loading time has improved.
    I only hope one day they will hire a GUI designer and bring the layout into the 21st century, C'est la vie.

    After the previous "update" (5.5.20) the same thing happened to me. I just found it 'visually' irritating, so I went back to version 5.5.0.409. I think I'll hold off from this latest version until it becomes absolutely necessary in order to run future libraries.

    None at all. I have over 660 libraries added to Kontakt via nicnt's. I keep most hidden, only displaying if needed. I have 144 libraries permanently visible and none disappeared after the upgrade.

    This new version is in beta testing. R2R made the mistake of including a keygen for serial numbers of libraries. I am sure that in some time, this problem will be fixed. And this version will see a lot of updating. As libraries who disappeared after a new Kontakt version.

    Interesting ... How do you hide the libraries you do not use, and to show them only when you need them? ...And as you did with the keygen? You had the keygen of all installed libraries?

    We hope ... and we hope that sound developers still expect a bit before publishing libraries that work only with the last version ...
