Kontakt 8 VST3 plugin error in Ableton 12.1.10

toranders

Hi!

The VST3 version of Kontakt 8 is not showing i the plugin window in Ableton. The AU version is visible and working fine. After some usual trouble shooting (as reinstalling both Kontakt8 and Ableton) I found an clue in the Ableton Live PluginScanner.txt:

"VST3: check plugin at path: "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 Kontakt/Kontakt 8.vst3"
2025-03-04T13:51:47.493933: error: Failed to load plugin: a sealed resource is missing or invalid"

So Ableton sees the plugin but refuses to enable it.

I am in a middle of a big production and now I am stuck with missing plugin errors in my Ableton projects where I have used the VST3 Kontakt8. It will take a lot of extra work to update the tracks with the AU version and load the used sample libraries.

Any suggestion or could a Native engineer look into this?
