in Native Access

Following the video instructions on installing NI from Avid Link, the install appears to go ok as in does not report an error. But also not success. Further following the video instructions, when I press redeem on the Protools Essentials, I get a Windows dialog which says "Get an app to access this 'native-access' link" - it appears protocol activation for these links are not correctly configured?

I then followed these instructions but the .NET in the installer has an unhandled exception.

How can I get Native Instruments properly installed so as to redeem my eligible products?

    This is an obvious question, but do you have Native Access installed and working on your system? If not you can download it from here - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access-2/

    If you do have it installed, exactly what is the error you get when you try to activate the software from Avid. And which software are you trying to activate? Is it the ProTools Kontakt Factory Essentials library?

    Thank you.. From Avid Link, through random online research, to NI's install video, no instruction gave me this info.. It would be nice if the Avid Link installer would detect and install if needed. I'm not sure if that's the intention of listing NI in Avid Link - if so, then the Installer they provide must be buggy. Again, didn't provide error or success .. just went silent and returned the button to Install. Latest everything as of 1/19.

    Ty again..
