Previous versions of Kontakt libraries prior to Kontakt 8 forced requirement

Hello.

After some recent Native Access updates I now am unable to use some of my Kontakt libraries with my Kontakt 7 - because they were updated to require now Kontakt 8.. I dont want to use Kontakt 8 Player. Can please someone from NI staf post installer links for Kontakt libraries with last versions which was supported in Kontakt 7 - before those forced Kontakt 8 requirements..

Especially needs:

Analog Dreams

Ethereal Earth

Noire

Scene - Saffron

Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst Deluxe

Session Guitarist - Electric Vintage

Session Guitarist - Picked Acoustic

Session Guitarist - Picked Nylon

Session Guitarist - Strummed Acoustic

Session Guitarist - Strummed Acoustic 2

But also would be handy to have Kontakt 7 supported last installers for other libraries.

Thank you.

@Andris Rinkis, How dare you ask why your previously owned & working versions of Kontakt 7 content no longer work. How dare you not immediately use Kontakt 8. How dare you question why Native Access fills up with updates that you do need/want and gives you no option to remove them 😉. Mate, the same old faces will jump on you and make it all your fault. Try to belittle you and treat you as a fool. There are a clique of users here that will offer passive/aggressive answers to any perceived criticism of their beloved Native Instruments 🤨

FWIW nobody forced you to install them. Native Access showed that there were updates. NI provide release notes with the updates that state the requirements. You chose to install them.

Why do you not want to use Kontakt 8 Player? What's the problem?

Can somebody provide install or zip for Scene - Saffron 1.0.1? I cant find Saffron in account/downloads at all unfortunately. Thank you.

First of all - nobody forced you to reply here with useless nonsense. Seems you have some sort of problem here - not I. And I not asked your opinion regarding Kontakt 8 or how Native Access manages updates - I asked installs/zips for particular products.

This one does not exist at this time.

Might be time to bring it to the attention of Ni.

FYI: Once you do these repairs - be sure to never go into Native Access again and be tempted by updates. Allowing any updates will simply put you right back in this mess

FWIW - I do agree with @PK The DJ - not exactly sure why you would need to stay on K7 - which is now discontinued. Other than a possible clash with older projects in your DAW - Kontakt 8 is much better option here in late 2025. And removes all these hassles.

I do not have any link for Scene - Saffron 1.0.1

But here is the zipped Scene Saffron 1.0.0 library , if there then first uninstall the current one in Native Access, then unzip the library, put it along your other libraries and use the locate function of Native Access.

Scene Saffron 1.0.0 for Kontakt 7.10.5 , the download used to require approval but I can not test if it still does , and Jeremy_NI is not here this week…

Thank you, but I asked about Scene Saffron 1.0.1.

As I wrote then I do not have that and the NI forum Customer Care expert has taken the week off.

You are free to ask N.I. Support (all) if you want.

In case that you need guidance contacting support : How to contact NI Support and How to get in touch with our Customer Care

@Andris Rinkis it's an open forum and I am entitled to comment. I'm just stating the facts of the matter. The updates are not forced on anyone.

Andris Rinkis

Ok, I got Scene Saffron v1.0.1 😉

Wait, you think I'm some kind of NI superfan? 🤣 I've no idea where you got that from. Feel free to check through my posts via my profile. You'll see it's far from one sided. 🙄
