Is it possible to hide an available update in Native Access?

I don't want to update some of the Kontakt libraries, because they now require Kontakt 7, which I don't have.

And while I could use them in the Kontakt 7 Player, I don't want to lose any extra editing capabilities for those libraries, which are now available to me in the full version of Kontakt 6, which I do have.

So in effect an "upgrade" of those libraries would be end up being a downgrade for me. And I want to avoid that.

    Quick answer is no.

    But…don’t give for granted that on many of the libraries loading them in a Kontakt full version is a lot different than loading them in a player version. Often commercial Kontakt libraries doesn’t allow for deep editing (as an example, you can’t even use their samples to build your own version of the instrument).

    So…you could try to use also the K7 Player version together with your 6 Full and see which libraries have big differences. And in case update the other ones

    There might be, but why do you want to do that? I did have to tweak a registry key for NA2 to stop it showing a false positive. So I am guess there is a way to change a registry key to turn off an update as well.

    Quick answer is no.

    thanks for confirming - that's what I was afraid of, since I couldn't find any evidence of that either.

    why do you want to do that?

    I explained that in my original post.

    You could tag the thread as feature request, since @Hayo_NI and friends said they are working/thinking about adding things in that field (hiding updates could go well with adding uninstall e.g., even work related speaking)

    For my use case there’s nothing in Kontakt 7 that makes it worth upgrading to. And I want to keep my libraries at full functionality in my full Kontakt 6, rather than reduced functionality in Kontakt Player 7.

    So I’m motivated to keep my Kontakt libraries not updated.

    Having to dance around undesirable upgrades, while allowing desirable one’s in Native Access is currently seriously de-motivating me from upgrading to the new Guitar Rig, which otherwise would look like an attractive upgrade for my use case.
