Is it possible to update to the latest Scene- Saffron without breaking it for Kontakt 7?

Hi.

If I update Scene - Saffron to version 1.1.0, a version that requires Kontakt 8.1 to run, it breaks all instances in old songs where it's loaded inside Kontakt 7.

Even if i keep copies of both the older 1.0 K7 compatible version and the 1.1 K8 compatible version on my hard drive and manually relink the files in K7, the instrument turns up in Kontakt 7 as "demo".

Is there some method to update that doesn't break the library in older songs?

Thanks!

Nope. If you value your Kontakt v7 stuff - I would say stand down on v1.1.0. It is not like this upgrade brings ground shaking changes that are a must have.

There is no known way (that I am aware of) to have any NI instrument share two different versions of a library on one installation.

You can also use Kontakt 8 Player (free) if you just need to load instruments, without the other features of Kontakt 8 Full, which would be a paid upgrade
