Guitar Rig 5

mrkilo

I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to resurrect my Guitar Rig 5.

My first question is this out of date? Do I need to install 7?

My second question is: as I try to load GR5 I'm told I need to reactivate and then I get a notification that it can't find "Service Center" and neither can I. Nor can I locate it at the NI site. What should I do?

sorry-this "My first question is this out of date?" should've been "...Is GR5 out of date with macOS 14.2.1?"

If GR5 is 'out of date' then maybe the answer to that depends on the how much trouble it takes to get it to run and else if you are satisfied with what it can do. You could argue that that GR5 is out of date since there are two newer Guitar Rigs (6 +7). Most economical way to upgrade many NI products is to (wait for a sale and then ?) buy the latest Komplete bundle of your choosing. However Komplete 14 does not have GR7 only GR6 so if wanting GR7 in a bundle you would have to wait for K15 !

Apparently you need to install Native Access 1 to activate GR5 ! : Unable to re-activate Guitar Rig 5 after reinstall
