Kontakt sees no content, but Native Access say it is loaded

Hello,

I relocated my content to an external drive because of space issues. I relocated everything successfully using Native Access. I followed instructions to start the Kontakt 8 app so it could rebuild the database.

Kontakt 8 cannot see anything. I cannot convince it to see it either. Interestingly, in Kontakt 8 settings→Libraries, it has checkboxes for all kinds of content. I checked them all ON, but it still doesn't load them.

I tried an experiment with Kontakt 7 and was able to load all of my relocated content, but I had to load them as user files. YUK.

I've tried reinstalling both Kontakt 7 and Kontakt 8. It didn't help.

What can I do to force Kontakt to recognize the new location?

    Thanks for the comments. I don't know how I got licensed for those missing Maschine items. I don't own a maschine. I'm guessing they came with Komplete 13. But since I don't own a Maschine, and I don't know of any way to use them anyway, so I guess I won't bother with it anymore.

    It concerns me a little that NA believes I should have them, but can't reinstall them. I hope that doesn't become true of other items.

    I still don't understand what happened with the original Kontakt problem. So, I deleted everything (NA, Kontakt, Komplete, etc, including all the config stuff in Library, etc), re-installed NA, set my content location appropriately, and then re-installed everything using NA. Kontakt can see the content now. I am clueless why it was broken. And I guess sometimes it takes a hammer to fix things. :)

    Thanks for all the help.
