Is there a way to just download the Kontakt 7 Player by itself on Mojave??

I just bought Duets and the KarriemRigginsDrums from the Play Series instruments and when I try to use them, I get a message that says my version of Kontakt Player (Kontakt 6 Player) is too old to use these instruments. My other instruments, like the Rickenbacker Bass, still work fine. I know that Kontakt 7 doesn't work with Mojave. I'm just wondering if there is a way to download the Kontakt 7 Player by itself. All I really want is the plugin for the Kontakt 7 Player so that I can play these new instruments. I can't update my OS because I have Protools 12 and I don't want to lose it and mess with my projects. Is this at all possible?

Sidenote: When I downloaded Duets and the KarriemRigginsDrums in Native Access, I was prompted to download Kontakt 7 Player as well but it wouldn't go past the "calculating download time" message.

    These instruments indeed require Kontakt 7 (as written on their product pages) and so will all future instruments that will get released.

    Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass was made for Kontakt 5 and it's normal that instruments from older Kontakt versions will work fine in newer ones. It just won't work the other way round.

    I think you have two options here:

    • Take the risk and update your OS (though you may want to create a backup of your projects)
    • Try requesting a refund for Duets and Karriem Riggins Drums

    @Monochrome I'm aware of this, per my question. I'm asking if it's possible to download the Kontakt 7 player by itself (without installing Native Access 2) and if it would work with Mojave as just a player.

    Sadly, no. Kontakt 7 Player itself requires macOS 10.15, 11, 12 or 13 (latest update) as per the System Requirements.

    Player and Full version share the same requirements, so even Player will not work on Mojave

    In any case, all NI products require NA
