Secondhand controllers

Hi Peoples

I recently purchased a secondhand Maschine MK2, I don't have a transfer ID. I don't need to purchase the software again because this is 3rd controller.

The controller came with just the device ID no serial on the bottom of the unit.

What do I do?

    I would contact the NI Support via their Chat (Login with your NI ID first) ⇒ https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/de/sections/360000091558-Maschine
    and send a photo of the sticker under your Maschine with the Device ID.
    They will contact the seller and/or make a licence transfer.

    All issues regarding serials and registration are handled exclusively by N.I. Account Support

    The below here is the general description of how to contact support even though it may not completely fit your case :

    Send support a picture of both serial on bottom of device and of your purchase receipt.

    The "resolution that works" is the click through and make the right choices to open a ticket : N.I.Account Support

    That doesn't help

    7 Please ask the seller to request a License Transfer Token as explained in this article.

    The sw is the same for all controllers so if you already have 2 with the software, then it should be plug-and-play.

    To reiterate: you only need one SW license to use use all controllers.

    Note - The SW is not designed to be able to use more than 1 controller at the same time in dedicated mode, one will switch to MIDI Mode automatically. The exception is when one of the controllers is of a different type, say a S keyboard or Jam, those can work along side one 4x4 controller.
