I currently have Kontakt 7 player. Since my Mac Book Pro can no longer be upgraded, I am unable to purchase the latest Kontakt. How can I install a version of Kontakt Full compatible with my computer?
Hey. there, first, sorry to stumble upon your post so late after. Please note that the forum is in English only, I have translated your text, please use an online translator if needed.
You can buy a second hand version of Kontakt 7, there is a buy/trade thread here:
Actualizo la información
MacOS Big Sur 11.7.10
Última versión de Kontakt compatible 7.8.1
Hey Jeremy,
I hope you're well. I'm in the process of owning Kontakt 8 but I have an older Mac with Big Sur as the last compatible macOS. Where would I download the version of kontakt (which according to research seems to be 7.8.1) for my mac? I've proactively tried to find it in legacy and these threads but haven't succeeded yet.
Jeremy_NI is a NI employee and as such then he does not work other than normal work-hours normal workdays.
Anyway , you can find your Big Sur compatible download under the OS on the page Compatibility of Native Instruments Products on macOS . In case of download problems then try logging in into Google first, if that doesn't help then copy the download to own Google drive before the download.
The above ought to help you circumvent the download limit.
Please notice that having a licensed full version of Kontakt 8 does not give license to previous versions such as e.g. Kontakt 7. However you should be able to use the Kontakt 7 download as the Player version when using licensed NI Kontakt libraries . Ref. : Kontakt Player - Kontakt full , Comparison chart and Third-Party KONTAKT Libraries - Licensed vs. Unlicensed.

You should be able to download and install Kontakt 7 Player, do you need the full version?
@Jeremy_NI , Yes please. I need the full version. I have an older mac. I just assumed I could get a legacy version of Kontakt after purchasing Kontakt 8.
Also Jeremy I'm having a horror of a time with Support for my Voucher. I'm trying to buy Session Guitarist - Picked Acoustic. It qualifies under the terms but all support keeps doing is re-sending me the conditions. I've read, re-read and it doesn't fall under ANY of the disqualifying conditions. My ticket # is [Native Instruments - #4825429] I'm pleading man. Someone help me resolve it or alternatively send me a list of the kontakt instruments I can use the voucher for.
[EDIT by Moderator : servHis opened a new thread on the voucher issue here]
@servHis We've added a Kontakt 7 NFR to your account. Regarding the voucher issue your ticket has already been escalated to a specialist and you should have been notified. My colleagues will get back to you soon.
I've seen the Kontant 7 NFR Jeremy! THANK YOU Sir! Apologies for the cross posting. I'm learning the platform while trying to restrain my frustration. Once again, apologies, and thank you.
I've also received my license for Session Guitarist Picked Acoustic. Thank you so much for you swift assistance.
