can't find Kontakt 8 player after installation

mwu0920

hi I am new to native instruments, initially was just trying to access my free keep forest plugins war zone and ferrum free edition, I downloaded Kontakt 8 player last night and was trying to locate the folder and discover it was nowhere to be found, and was also not to be seen on my native access 2 home page, any suggestions on what to do, I am completely lost, my friend said maybe use Kontakt 7 player, but I just don't understand why Kontakt 8 player just vanished?

Be sure to use the latest version of Native Access for your OS

Also please check if the Kontakt version you want to use is compatible with your Mac OS ? :

Compatibility of Native Instruments Products on macOS

We do not know your exact OS version (?) or what plugin type that you are trying to locate AU ? , AAX ? , VST3 ? Kontakt 7/8 does not come as VST and is also only 64 bit plugins. Also , are you missing the standalone Kontakt version or the plugin version , and if plugin which DAW , if a DAW then try this search.

Also then here are links for standalone installers for Kontakt 7 and 8 : KONTAKT 7.9.0 , KONTAKT 8.1.0 , in case of download problems then trylogging in into Google first, if that don't help then copy thedownload to own Google drive before the download

Please also notice the differences between the full version of Kontakt and the Player version. Unlicensed will only play as demo in Kontakt Player after trial period :
