Plugins activate demo mode but in NA products seem to be activated

Andreas Barkhoff

Hi,

I installed Kontakt 5 and Alicias Keys (belonging to NI Komplete 8) on my Macbook (M2 Max, running Ventura).

In Logic X (running in Rosetta-mode) and both products run in demo mode, although they seem to be activated in NI Access 2.

Full Disk Access is granted for all components.

Any ideas?

Could it just be, because Ventura is not officially supported?

Thanks.

@Andreas Barkhoff It looks like this issue: GUITAR RIG 5, KONTAKT and SUPER 8 R2 Open as Demo Versions on Apple Silicon / M-Systems

Could be.

Another thing I see is that Alicia’s Keys is stated as “For use with Free KONTAKT Player or KONTAKT”.

Usually when they say only “KONTAKT” they mean Kontakt 6.

It could be possible they increased the requirements for it.

From where did you install it? From NA? In this case NA can install only the latest version.

Do you have a disk or something that came with your Komplete 8 from where you can try to install the version that was working with Kontakt 5?
