After updating Kontakt 8 version 8.2.0 2025-02-12I no longer have a full license

STB

Hello,after updating Kontakt 8 version 8.2.0 2025-02-12I no longer have a full license.Kontakt 6 Kontakt 7 and Kontakt 8 are only player licenses.I ask you to correct this.

Hey there, a quick check in your account shows only this collection: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/76753-thomann-70th-anniversary-native-instruments-komplete-collection-70th-ltd-62/

Is this the one you bought? I don't believe there was a full version of Kontakt in those. Updating to Kontakt 8.2 should have no impact anyway. Did you get an error message? Product showing in demo mode? What library were you trying to use when you got that message?

Players and full versions should be 2 different products.

If your problem is that full versions doesn’t appear in NA, check this article:

If it is listed but in demo mode, check this:

I bought that.The licenses were definitely full...I clicked on the native logo at the top right and the full license was displayed.Kontak 8 also worked completely.

The instruments received in theThomann 70th Anniversary-Native Instruments Komplete Collection 70th LTD $62have a full license

This bundle does not include a full version of Kontakt 8. Once again, did you get an error message? Product showing in demo mode? What library were you trying to use when you got that message?

STB

I was probably wrong.

Haven't used it that much.

Thanks for the Help.

If you use e.g. Kontakt 8 only with licensed products then you may not notice that it is not a full version of Kontakt that you are using if you do not pay any attention to the word Player in e.g. Kontakt 8 Player. But the Player version can only be used with licensed libraries (such as those from the Thomann 70th Anniversary-Native Instruments Komplete Collection 70th LTD) . If you use unlicensed kontakt libraries then you will find out that the Player version of Kontakt is not a full version.(typically free libraries are mostly unlicensed and paid are mostly licensed, but it is not always so).

I apologize but I think because the instruments above all show full licenses

I thought that Kontakt 8 was actually a full version.

But thanks for the price, really great

Yes, that is why I wrote the above to explain , Kontakt full version is not included with a licensed instrument it doesn't have to be since libraries/'instruments' that are licensed can be used with the free Kontakt Player version. You only need Kontakt full version if you want to use unlicensed libraries or want to use a feature that is found exclusively in the full version : Kontakt 8 Player - Kontakt 8 full , Comparison chart

P.S.

If you want Kontakt 8 full version then if you would like to get some of the other N.I. apps and Kontakt libraries then the best deal usually is to get Komplete 15 Standard.

Of course then Komplete Start is also worth getting in any case since it is free. N.I. also gives you a free plugin bundle via PluginAlliance (19 free plugins)

Also a free library that can be used with Kontakt player is the SonusCore THE ORCHESTRA ELEMENTS. SonusCore have seven free items for Kontakt , but six of them require full version of Kontakt.
