Komplete Crossgrade / Upgrade / eBay ?

Folk_Dope

I own a Maschine Mikro II and Kontrol M32. I want to get a decent generation of Komplete (preferably Ultimate) pre-owned on eBay, but I don't have a clue if, for example, this Komplete 10 'crossgrade' would install. Is the 'Machine / Maschine Studio' it's referring to the Hardware model, and therefore my Mikro II does not meet the criteria…?

Thanks anyone, who can shed some light. I don't need K15 but I could get an older Ultimate version for a couple of hundred £ I'd be chuffed.

I can not say what 'Maschine' that this 'cross-grade' refers to as qualifying but you could ask N.I. Account Support . But even if then that I would say that you still always ought to be careful.

But what I do know is that you will be ill advised to buy an upgrade to so old an edition of Kpmplete software. Depending on your OS then older software might or might not run but there is also the issue that the software is considered being legacy software. Also then e.g. a lot of Kontakt libraries will not run on less than the newest version of Kontakt. Of course then if you are using licensed Kontakt libraries then they will run on Kontakt player. But so that you can compare then I will give you links to some pages where that you can get information on bundle content.

Also then usually then what will give you most for your money is to get Komplete 15 Standard at a sale where it is %50 off. If you have Komplete Select then that can also be used as base for an upgrade to standard.

Compare Komplete 15 bundles - where you can also see what can be used as base for what (prices shown are always present prices)

Also then please notice that N.I. only officially supports three (?) latest generations of Mac OS : Compatibility of Native Instruments Products on macOS

hi there,
I've actually an old iMac (2013) and old OSX 10.13 so that's why I have no problem running old software. Thanks for you response, i'll try contacting Account Support :)
