I get "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file. Please update to the latest version."
I am using the latest full version of Kontakt 7 on
- my macbook MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
- Logic Prox
It was running fine, until I installed the updates that were available on NI Access.
Now, when I load any instrument patch from "Kontakt Factory Library 2", I get the message "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file".
I am running the Kontakt 7. I confirmed the same by clicking on the Kontakt Logo.
Can someone help me with this?

Hello,
Latest kontakt is 7.6.0 and i think your system does not support it (7.3.2 maybe?), you would need at least mac os 11.xx

Compatibility of Native Instruments Products on macOS – Native Instruments (native-instruments.com)
and what version the library needs you normally find on the product page, but if the new stuff for the mk3 is integrated i think you need really the latest kontakt 7.6.0 - but i don´t know if that´s the case for the factory library

@Velayutham The KFL 2 was updated to take advantage of the new keyboard features and now requires Kontakt 7.6, version that is not compatible with 10.15. Here are the installers for the previous version:

@Uwe303 Thank you!
My Kontakt version is upgraded to 7.4.2. My Mac OS is 10.15.7
Are they compatible? Where I can refer to the compatibility chart?

@Uwe303 Thanks for sharing the chart. It looks like the last supported Kontakt player version in MacOs Catalina is 7.3.2. In my machine, the Kontakt player got updated to 7.4.2. Is there a way to downgrade my player?

@Jeremy_NI Hey, Thank you so much! I had figured it out, and been looking for the installer 1.2.0.
Thank you for rightly pointing it out to me. (y)

Jeremy,
Am I correct in understanding that Kontakt 7.6 was updated but the update isn't compatible with MacOS Catalina and above (I'm currently running MacOS Sanoma 14.0)? Because of this, we need to downgrade to Kontakt Factory Library 2(1.2.0) so we can continue using the sounds that aren't ready for the MacOS update?

"Am I correct in understanding that Kontakt 7.6 was updated but the update isn't compatible with MacOS Catalina and above (I'm currently running MacOS Sanoma 14.0)"
None of these Kontakt 7.6 "library issues" (Your version of Kontakt is too old) have anything to do with Mac OS (Sonoma or otherwise).
These updates are centered on older libraries (many that shipped during the Kontakt 6 era) so these will work properly with the new Kontakt S-Series Mark III devices coming soon.
And MacOS Sonoma is not currently supported for ANY Native Instruments product:
macOS 14 Sonoma Compatibility Statement – Native Instruments (native-instruments.com)
If you want a fully supported DAW situation for use with NI stuff right now - you will need to roll back your entire OS (Not just the Kontakt factory library) to MacOS 13 (Ventura) until such time the NI certifies its products for use with Sonoma.
That said - you could also do nothing and stay on Sonoma - but if something goes south on you - you will not be able to get any help from NI on it.

Kontakt 7.6 is not compatible with MacOS Catalina and under. So, it is compatible with MacOs 11, 12 and 13.

I actually have the same issues on my iMAC running 13.6, that the Kontakt libraries that I have updated recently shows that message...
So it's also a problem "below" Sonoma

"So it's also a problem "below" Sonoma"
This not a problem specific to Sonoma in any way - it is a problem for everyone (windows/mac) who decided to update ANY Kontakt library that now only supports Kontakt 7.6.x (and beyond)
You could be running Windows 95 (if Kontakt 7.6.x was supported) and still have this issue.
