Please don’t tell me I spent €600 on NI Komplete Standard and €2,000 on a 2024 MacBook Pro M4, only for the two not to work together??

I can’t even complete the installation — some plugins throw this error:
“Native Instruments installation failed – grant full disk access.”

Of course, I already gave full disk access to both NTKDaemon and Native Access, but it still doesn’t help…

I’m also using an external Samsung SSD, and everything worked just fine with the same setup before — on my previous Mac, a 2020 M1 model. No issues at all back then.

To make things worse, I contacted Native Instruments support, but haven’t received any response today — which is really disappointing.

It’s such a shame, because NI Komplete Standard is an amazing product, and I’d love to keep using it — but right now I’m stuck.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is your external drive formatted as APFS?

You should also check your drive Mac names and N.A. path settings.

What is your OS ? if using Sequoia then also check the : quote Kymeia : if using Sequoia then N.I.apps must be added to the Local Network (Ref.: How to grant audio apps access to your local network on macOS 15 Sequoia)

@Mert_NI , do you have anything to add ?
