Unable to install "Hardware Connection Service", since it is not listed

Hello,

I am trying to make my Kontrol S61 MK3 work with my macbook pro m1pro (sonoma). But I am stuck at the step "install Hardware Connection Service", since this is not listed in Native Access at all.

I did the following steps:

  • Install NI Access
  • Upgrade firmware to 1.57 I think, the device still display "Add your serial ion Native access"
  • Grant full disk access to Native Access app and NTKDaemon
  • Enter serial from the hardware device screen into Native access

NI Access then also accepts the serial, but does not list "Hardware Connection Service" anywhere. So I cannot make this device work :(

Under my products and serials ( https://www.native-instruments.com/de/my-account/my-products-serials-downloads/ ) is only KONTROL S61 MK3 HW listed, but no serial for the "Hardware Connection Service".

How to fix this? I have the impression that NI Access is a software which does not really work well.

I also installed NI Komplete Kontrol, and also NIHardwareAgent and NIHostIntegrationAgent are running. Yet the device shows "add your serial to NI Access".

Is there a direct link to the "Hardware Connection Service" installer?

    It seems to took some time, like 2 hours, until the Hardware Connection Service is now listed / the registration was processed. I have no idea what I did change.

    Maybe you could also provide a direct download link for the Hardware Connection Service at your support pages, because NI Access is quite confusing and the sparse documentation misleading, or at least not helping, if something unexpected is happening.

    The fact that you have added your serial to NA2 (you are using NA2, right, not NA1?) and that it is not updating to show Hardware Connection Service, suggests a Native Access bug.

    @Jeremy_NI any thoughts?

    Hello
    I just installed the Native Access application. I have the same exact issue as the users above. The Hardware Connection Service does not show in the Applications´ tab. I have waited approximately 9 hours since the installation of the application and the registration of the Komplet Kontrol M32 (done in the app)

    So, waiting for me did not do the trick, and the issue with Native Access seems still to be there.

    Is there anything else I can do?

    Thanks in advance
