So..I purchased the upgrade to komplete std in error not having the base product, what is my best course of action to get this working?
Return it if you can or find out what is the required base product and get that. If required base product is Komplete Select then that is 'base' product for more NI keyboards so you will get it free with the purchase of the keyboard when registering the keyboard hardware… Alternatively then of course you can just buy the base product at the NI sale while prices are nice.
All Komplete 15 bundles , including Komplete 15 Select Band are %50 off at the moment. (if you are going to upgrade anyway then flavor does not matter so get K15 Select Band since it also gives you iZotope Nectar 4 Elements).
