There was an error rendering this rich post.

I bought a Maschine mk3 used off FB , The owner did a license transfer. Came with Maschine 2 , Komplete 14 and some expansion packs. I registered everything no problem. My komplete 14 won't show up in my "AVALIABLE" folder on Native access. My Maschine 2 seems rather empty ( KIT WISE ). i am unsure if the version i have a actually version or if they are "DEMOS". My question is how can I tell? If they are "DEMOS" or lower can I buy upgrade during the sale right now? Also my Komplete 14 select says "HW" beside it not sure what that means.

Thanks in advance - y0urstruly

That is OK. You have full version of K14S that is bundled to NI HW. The only difference to "Komplete 14 Select" is that you cannot sell your K14S to a new user, it will stay at your account forever. If you sell Maschine MK3, new owner will get his own (new and current) version of KS. In case there is K15S, the new owner, IMHO, will get K15S, not K14S (No guarantie, better to check at Support when selling... I might misunderstood how it works, or it may have changed, or may change in future....).

Concerning, the Maschine Library Upgrade.... You have written that you have Maschine MK3, if it is so, Upgrade would bring you nothing more than you already have. And beside that, you could not use that Upgrade anyway as Maschine MK3 is not Base Product needed. It would be total double waste of money.

If you have Maschine Mikro KK3, than yes, it would bring you something. But, I cannot tell, if it is woth it, or not.

Hello,

For Komplete 14 try to add its serial number manually in Native Access (sometimes a refresh or a restart needed though). Komplete 14 serial can be found in your NI account --> My products and serials.
Maschine 2: you should be able to see all your stuff there already (VST, other NI apps, sounds and your user sounds -if you add their paths in Preferences-Library-User). However, for kits, projects and that kind of stuff you need some expansions (or you can make your own). Those expansion are paid.
"HW" means Hardware :-) It indicates that you have the hardware version of Komplete 14
In the unlikely case that some of those products are demos, yes of course you can update them to full versions.

I have typed in the serial code from my native instrument profile into my native access for the komplete 14 still nothing. I have done a reset and everything.

In your NI account, what it says?

Is it normal, or it exists as "Not registered yet"?

and btw, do you use the correct Native Access 2, or the older Native Access? If this is the case, you have to remove the old NI and install Native Access 2!

yep, you should, otherwise you will never make it to work.

Many brand new apps and libraries are now compatible only with the new, Native Access 2.

For example, Reaktor. New version 6.5.0 is available only through Native Access 2

There will not be Komplete 14 Select listed in Native Access, as it is name for bunch of individual plugins and libraries. NA should list those and you have to install them using NA to be able to use them and see them in Maschine SW.

You can find content of K14S here:

Oh, it doesn't show as komplete.... I feel like a komplete moron. One more question. Is it worth getting the library upgrade maschine 2

Sunborn

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/114631#Comment_114631

Yes Kubrak is correct. Komplete 14 is visible in your account, but in Native Access you see only its instruments and libraries!

don't feel moron, is easy to get confused, me also i "lost it" for a while even if i have them since Komplete 13 :-p

Maschine Library 2 is a worthy upgrade, assuming that you have Maschine and use it. However, if you prefer to make your own samples and loops, it is not really necessary.

lol... 😂😅 it is because we missed you and your bitter humor and we got confused! :-)

@y0urstruy

What do you mean by upgrade to Maschine 2 Library? You should have it already. IMHO Maschine MK3 comes with fullblown Maschine 2 SW, I guess that Maschine Mikro comes with lighter version of Maschine 2 SW that has reduced Maschine Library. And upgrade is meant for this version.

But, I am not completely sure. I just think it is so....

@Kubrak this is on the native instruments site. I was wondering if I should buy this.

No, as you can see from the highlighted red text.

NI products listed in the red text also comes with the same Maschine 2 software but only Maschine, excluding Mikro, hardware comes with the full Factory Library whereas the rest come with Library Selection. Those with Library Selection can then buy the Maschine 2 Factory Library Upgrade to make it to full Factory Library.

And you would have missed me and my bitter humor also this time, since I wouldn’t have written anything…if only you didn’t attack another user and be rude with him in the November leaderboard and prizes thread, accusing him to do things you also do exactly in the same way…

@LostInFoundation i thought we had achieved a good understanding of each other, but obviously i was wrong, because:

-if you compare a simple human mistake, with a massive bulk of continuously wrong and irrelevant (and some potentially catastrophic) answers (given by ignorance and not by mistake),

-if you compare a constant "trolling" "yo bro" attitude, not intentionally maybe but because of a very young age probably (yet, this kid shows a humbleness and a will to learn and i respect that a lot, so i will help him as much as i can), with dozens of detailed answers based on a 3 decades in the studios and music production (yes, of course mistakes has been made too),

then, you are either blind and short-sided, either malicious and malevolent. Go shed your poison elsewhere and never speak to me or mention me again, directly or indirectly. It is really a shame to see such a brilliant and helpful member, to become a constant annoyance for the forum (as i saw in various other posts). Hope you get well soon, though.
