Guitar Rig 5 Pro auth error

madflute

Guitar Rig 5 Pro is in Demo mode and complaining it can't find the Service Center. I followed the Native Access app instructions to uninstall and reinstall but to no avail.

I have Guitar Rig 5 installed on my live rig and previous Mac desktop. My current MacStudio is the 3rd install. If the limit is 2-install, I don't mind uninstalling from the previous Mac but I can't find how to do so. I searched NI FAQ like a mad man. Any help would be appreciated.

See this help article - it explains why that happens and has a possible workaround:

(Though you might want to consider updating to Guitar Rig 7).

Thank you so much for your kind response, @Monochrome

Interesting solution. I wonder what the impact is on my other NI product installs, but I will try the solution. The $100 Guitar Rig 7 upgrade is a bit too much for something I rarely use. I will check if the new features would justify/motivate me (I am only a flute player who occasionally needs to play guitar tracks on demand 😅).

Do you happen to know if Guitar Rig 7 has a preset to reproduce Jeff Beck's sound? That would motivate me to upgrade 😁
