Why are Abbey Road Drummers telling me I need Kontakt 7.x to play them, when I have Kontakt Player 8

There was an error rendering this rich post.

And it works. (As far as I can tell, I'm not missing any functionality.)

Is this just a very confusing erroneous error message in the Native Access app? ☹️

Here's a screenshot of what it's telling me as I'm downloading my newly-purchased samples.

Does anyone from NI read these? I'm guessing not… disappointing.

Hello Dear23, yes I'm reading this, sorry for the latency, normally Abbey Drummer should accept the Kontakt 8 Player as well, so just installing the Abbey Road Drummer and open it in Kontakt 8 Player should solve the issue. If not, please download the Kontakt 7 Player as well and check if it is solving the issue.

Please let me know afterwards.

I hope this helps☺️
