Both Kontakt 6.6.1 and Windows 7 are long since retired.

That said - you might to get things going using Native Access v1 before it is permanently shutdown at the end of Feb 2025.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Hi VP,

Thanks! Ive tried all versions of NAv1, but only got error messages.

If NAv1 does not work, you would need to get on Win 10 at a minimum and install NAv2.

Kontakt 6.8.x works just fine with this setup.

If I buy a second PC with win10/11 and I authorise my Kontakt-6.6.1-or-lower-libraries there, can I then somehow get the libs into my win7-pc-kontakt6.6.1-system with all my thousands of vsts and cubase projects?

Thanks!

Does not work that way.

But do not understand - if you buy a PC with Win10/11 - why wouldn't you just install Cubase (and everything else on it) and use it as your new DAW?

There is no need for any machine with Windows 7 now - it was retired long ago and is no longer supported.

In what bubble do you live, man?

Can't speak for anyone else but I choose to use my NI software on non-retired fully supported systems to enjoy a hassle free technical experience and be creative without interruption.

You can almost certainly upgrade your PC to Windows 10, without disturbing any of your files. (Back them up first!). I've done it on 2 PCs. (You might now have to spend a few quid on a W10 licence, though you could try without first - people have still succeeded).

Plenty of advice on the internet on how to do it.
