Does upgrading from Maschine Essentials 2 to Maschine 2 include Massive X

Hello.

I have Maschine Essentials 2 and I upgraded to Maschine Factory Library, but even though Massive X shows up in my instruments, it does not load.

As I understand, Maschine Essentials 2 does not include Massive X.

QUESTION: If I buy the "Maschine 2" upgrade (even though the actual Maschine software is a higher version and the same version for all), will I then get Massive X?

Please advise.

Thanks kindly in advance.

p.s. I'm sorry if this question is in the wrong category, but I am new to the forum and I could not find a way to ask this question under the Maschine category.

    The Maschine 2 upgrade only gives you a bigger Maschine Factory Library but not other products, so Massive X will not be part of it.

    Massive X is available as a single product and is also part of the Komplete Select bundle !Beats and Electronic version):

    They are full versions. Massive X lite does not exist.

    Just to make you have more infos: Massive X is appearing in your Maschine probably because you own some expansion which contains some presets for it. But it’s not loading because you don’t own it (yes, quite confusing if you don’t know…)

    Hello.

    I did buy (and install):

    "Maschine 2 Factory Library" Upgrade

    Would getting "Maschine 2" software upgrade offer even more for my already upgraded "Maschine 2 Factory Library"?

    RE Massive X:

    Do the "Komplete Select 15" bundles (Beats and Electronic) contain full versions of what they offer (eg. same Massive X as buying Massive X as a separate product)? Or, are the Select items just "lite" versions of the full items, when bought individually.

    I'm leaning towards getting "Komplete Select 15", if all the items included are full versions.

    If so, Komplete Select looks like a very good deal.

    Please advise.

    Thanks again for your help!!
