How do we know which minimum Kontakt version a library requires?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm looking into buying this (among others) :

I currently have Kontakt 7, and for some technical reasons (running exclusively on Linux) I will be stuck at 7 forever (8 no longer works on Linux).

So my question is, when we browse these libraries on NI's website, how do we know which minimum version of Kontakt the library requires? Or is there even a such thing at all as a library that requires 8 for example and would not work on 7?

Thanks.

The specs are usually on the page you get after you hit "Buy Now" - in the case of the one above it says "This instrument can be used with the free KONTAKT 6 PLAYER."

Thanks, so I assume that whenever a version 6 for example is compatible, then all the next ones are too?
