Hi, maybe somebody can help me here: I want to buy Kontakt 8 and have already the plugin Una Corda. Do I then have to buy the full version of Kontakt 8 or can I buy a crossgrade (which is much cheaper)

    If you are logged in to your account and then you check the products and you see that you eligible for a Crossgrade, then of course you will buy the crossgrade!

    It is the same, full version.

    Crossgrade only means that you can get a product at discount, since you are a customer and you already own some specific products (in your case, i assume some Komplete standard or ultimate version).

    I can't see Una Corda on the Crossgrade list.

    That's irrelevant.

    The user already has Una Corda. He is asking for Kontakt.

    Alas then Una Corda does not qualify as base for a Kontakt 8 cross-grade. If you go to the Kontakt 8 pricing page and select the "crossgrade" then you will see that the description says : "Only for registered users of qualifying products that run in Kontakt Player. Find out more . You won't be able to install and activate this version unless you own one of the required products listed above!" (With a link embedded to the "KONTAKT 8 CROSSGRADE OFFER" page where you will find a list of "QUALIFYING NATIVE INSTRUMENTS LIBRARIES") .

    Seen from a general point of view then while the Komplete 15 bundle has a price of around twice that of a full version kontakt 8 then because of all the full version apps and libraries that you get with the Komplete 15 bundle then that is a so much better deal that I always recommend people to buy the bundle. And considering how much you get then I will say that the price for the Komplete 15 bundle is only twice the price of Kontakt 8 full version. When on sale then the bundles often have been seen at half price off.

    Also then Una Corda is only one of six "Acoustic pianos" and three "Electric pianos and organs" that comes with the Komplete 15 bundle . If you get the bundle then it's up to you if you want to try to part with the Una Corda that you have now though I couldn't say if there are any potential buyers of the library.

    Compare Komplete 15 bundles
