How do I stop constant Kontakt 8 pestering in Kontakt 7?
Every time I open K7 or maximise it in Ableton I get a message telling me about K8. I don't want K8 as I wasn't impressed with it and the player version shows me adverts all the time so I don't use it. I don't want it and should only have to say so once.

If you own the Full version of K7 - there is an option to turn off adverts under File-Options→Interface. Turn off the "new instruments for you" panel.
You should do this in standalone first as the plugin version does not have access to this panel.
If you are using K7 Player - no options there. If you want free - you have to accept the price of admission.

You're misunderstanding the problem. I was constantly getting a message telling me about Kontakt 8 every time I maximised Kontaky 7 which is the full version, I wasn't getting the adverts for other products. Though if I was it stinks considering how much I've spent on other items.

Well - this is the way to turn OFF the promo messages - all of them.
Respectfully - you can take the suggestion or not.

Sorry if I came across as unappreciative but that option already was turned off, I did that months ago.

Fair enough.
A few folks have noted this - I saw this message just the once when I updated to 7.10.7 but I saw it in standalone. Have never seen it within Komplete Kontrol. I do not use Kontakt as an actual VST in my work.

From what Matt said in another thread it seems this message was meant to only appear once, evidently at least for some people it is appearing much more frequently, so that’s a bug rather than the planned behaviour. However to be honest I think it was a bad idea even if it had just popped up the once, people who want to buy K8 will do so in their own time, such a message is really not needed and the fact that this has now backfired is probably putting off more people than it ever would have nudged towards a purchase (and I’m not convinced it would have even done that).

Nudging is so irritating. Its why I won't use K8, why customers have to be pestered with adverts is beyond me when we've already spent a lot of money shows what they think of us.

Can you post a screenshot?

And also know - if you are using Kontakt 8 Player - this is the price of admission for the free version. You will need the full version to turn this off permanently.
