Kontakt 5 Not Auto-Migrating
Hi,
I've seen this topic in a few places but haven't found a resolution for my case, and I'd be surprised if this isn't happening to other folks.
I have a batch of Logic projects that use Kontakt 5, which according to the article "Notes about Auto-Migration of Kontakt Versions in DAW Projects" should auto-migrate to Kontakt 7 when I open them.
Instead I get an error, "The plug-in named “Kontakt 5” isn’t available on your system."
Kontakt 7 is definitely installed, as is Kontakt 6 in case I needed a "stepping stone" of sorts. Neither option worked.
I also tried to install Kontakt 5, but the install fails, since Kontakt 5 isn't supported beyond macOS 13.0 (See article: Kontakt (Player) Legacy Installers for Older Operating Systems), and I am on 14.0.
There's got to be some kind of solution, right? What am I missing?
PS. I'd have posted article links, but the community guidelines won't let me since I'm a new user…Sorry about it.

Albeit not ideal, I've found a solution. Turns out Kontakt 5 did install, which allowed me to open the projects using K5 without issue and migrate the instruments one-by-one into K7. Using snapshots helped speed this along.
One option that did not work for me but may for others is to disable K5 in the plug-ins manager and reload the project.

Kinda of amazed that any of this worked since almost no NI plugins are supported under Sonoma.

Migration definitely does work as has been confirmed, with Logic 10.7.1 and above IIRC. I think (don't quote me on that) that the trick is that you have to have ONLY Kontakt 7 installed, if it finds any earlier version also installed it might not work.
