downloading new programs

Snaky snaks

hello every, i have a couple questions. I've recently bought komplete 14. I've been trying to download all the products, but for the bigger file sizes require sooo much space on my computers HDD to download even though they are being saved on a external. idk how much more space i can free up on my actual computer without erasing important documents. i was curious if there was a way to bypass that so i can stop erasing information?

second question:

im also trying to load some products that did get downloaded and they say they require kontact 7. so do i need to purchase kontact 7 as well as the komplete package?

thank you for any help :)

Hello Snaky snaks,

for your first question you can try checking this Knowledge Base Article below:

Native Access Error Message: "Installation has been prevented. You do not have enough free drive space to install the products."

For the second question, you will not need to purchase the Kontakt 7 especially and you can download the Kontakt 7 Player instead using Native Access, if this is the case please let me know about the operating system so I can send you the direct download link for Kontakt 7 Player.

I hope this helps☺️

The space required (depending on which Komplete 14 package you purchased) can vary widely. But there is no requirement to install it on your main C Drive. How big is your EXT drive and why are you needing to delete data?

To your second question - all versions of Komplete (starting with Standard) include the Full Kontakt 7 software. This should be just another app to install along with everything else. Suggest you install Kontakt as one of the first things you do - just to ensure Native Access does not keep asking about it.

the ext drive is 4 TB. i changed all the download locations and content locations, but it still requires me to free up space on my actual computers drive. its almost seems like it transfers the data through the computer to the external. it doesn't make sense to me

For the actual installation process, some temporary disk space on your main drive is needed (up to 2X the amount). There is - unfortunately - no way to bypass that.
