How do I activate an older licence for my new computer?

John Millard

Hello. I've been using Komplete 8 in conjunction with Sibelius and DP for many years. The sounds were originally loaded to an external drive (firewire) with a disc drive.

I am have loaded the sounds to my internal (1tb) drive and am attempting to run them from there. When I try to use the samples I now see 'demo expired'. When I try to activate the sample I get no response.

Can anyone help with this?

Vocalpoint

Komplete 8 was from 2011 and used some (now) retired technologies for activation. None of these tools are available today. You may need to contact NI support to see what is possible here in 2024.

Thank you VP. I have the Kontakt Factory Library loaded here. The license still seems to work and some of the other sounds are loading but not the ones from the library. NI Support has not made it easy to be in touch.

If you registered the bundle to your account the products that are still current will be available to you in Native Access: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access-2/

Make sure to follow these steps: Native Access 2 Preferences: What Are Legacy Products?

You will find downloads to older products. Some of them are not supported on current systems. Some of my KOMPLETE 8 (ULTIMATE) Products are Missing in Native Access
