How do I authorize Kontakt 6 libraries?

Mango Vee

I'm trying to set up Hybrid Keys on my new computer, but I haven't paid for Kontakt since for Kontakt 6 and I want to keep my libraries consolidated there. I found the links to download older versions of Kontakt libraries, and now I can find Hybrid Keys in Kontakt's file explorer and open it up, but it shows as a demo. Native Access doesn't seem to acknowledge it at all, so I don't know how to authorize it. I did install Hybrid Keys for Kontakt 8; would it help if I uninstalled that? What do I do to make this work?

Be sure to be using latest version of Native Access for your OS

Try the following Trouble shooter here : My Products Are Showing As DEMO in Native Access , especially '2. Your activation fails because of corrupted or missing activation tokens' and '3. You have corrupted XML files' (delete both NA XML and Kontakt 6 version XML) then restart computer and log in again to see if that helps

Also : general Mac user check list :

ALL NI apps including NTKDaemon must have full disk access. : How to Enable Full Disk Access on mac OS and disks must be of correct format : Notes on Network Drives and Disk Formats

Also then please check that iCloud Private Relay has been turned off : Native Access Error Message: "Download failed" (macOS)

Also then do not use Clean My Mac.

And quote Kymeia : if using Sequoia then N.I. apps must be added to the Local Network

Great that it fixed the Kontakt as Demo problem.

The My Products Are Showing As DEMO in Native Access ought also help for Hybrid Keys : , especially '2. Your activation fails because of corrupted or missing activation tokens' and '3. You have corrupted XML files' (delete both NA XML and Hybrid Keys XML) then restart computer and log in again to see if that helps.

Unless that it's some error about the Kontakt 6 is too old or something because then it is because that you have updated Hybrid Keys beyond what is compatible with Kontakt 6 in which case then you most likely have to uninstall new version and install the old version from here : Previous versions of recently updated Kontakt libraries / compatibility withK6 older libraries. Else then you could open such updated libraries in Kontakt 8 Player.

Else then if the problem persists then please contact N.I.Native Access and Installation Support .

Thanks for the tips. That did get Kontakt authorized, which I didn't realize hadn't happened yet, so that's good. But it didn't seem to work for Hybrid Keys. It's possible I followed a step wrong because I'm not very familiar with Mac yet, but I tried to do everything as instructed. If there's not another potential fix, I guess I can go through all those steps again to be sure. 😰

Yes, this sounds like an issue with updated libraries that are no longer compatible with Kontakt 6: Previous versions of recently updated Kontakt libraries / compatibility withK6 older libraries
