I have Kontakt 7 full version, what happens if I install Kontakt 8 player. Will it replace Kontakt 7 or it will it be installed separately and usable along with Kontakt 7?
Thanks
Separately and usable along with Kontakt 7.
Nope, can't confirm that.
I've installed Kontakt 8 Player and every library I open in there is not usable in Kontakt 7 anymore. Kontakt 8 Player seems to write something into the libraries that blocks them from being downward compatible. Real bummer. Still don't know how to reverse that. erasing the database and rebuilding it doesn't help.
every library I open in there is not usable in Kontakt 7 anymore.
If this is DAW project that you use with Kontakt Player 8 then maybe that is so.
Else problem could be that you updated the libraries beyond Kontakt 7 compatibility in which case then you should reverse the library to a prior version if you want to use in Kontakt 7.
If neither of these scenarios fits then I think that you should ask N.I. Support (all) to advice on the problem-
In case that you need guidance contacting support : How to contact NI Support and How to get in touch with our Customer Care

I can confirm that my libraries work both on k7 and k8player
