Komplete Kontrol not showing up in Ableton

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I just updated Komplete Kontrol through Native access and now my plugin is not visible in Ableton Live 11. I can't see either the VST3 or VST2 plugins in my Ableton browser. I have reinstalled KK and rescanned my plugins a few times. I can see the VST3 plugin in common files but there is not vst2 plugin. I have not changed any of my default locations.

Assuming you're on a PC, If you updated to KK3 it'll remove the VST2 plugin as it's only available as a VST3 plugin. You should find it in the VST3 plugin list.

If you need a VST2 version you can install the old 2.9.6 version, copy the VST2 then do the upgrade.

At the moment KK3 loses some features compared to KK2, so unless you need KK3 for a MK3 keyboard you might want to stick with KK2 depending on your workflow.

Thank you Mike. I did hear that the vst2 plugin would be removed as a part of this install but I don't understand why the vst3 plugin is not visible in ableton. I can see it in the common files folder. I will probably just downgrade.
