K8 PC a lot of pruducts are in demo Mode

Hello,
I am finding that a number of instruments are now in demo mode, though they were previously working, this includes NI instruments. I am on Kontakt 8, they were previously installed, maybe this is part of it. I have had Kontakt since Kontakt 2, so many upgrades.
How do I solve this please? Is there a file somewhere i can ssafely trash and rebuild?

Thank you all

What libraries are suddenly showing as Demo?

Have you checked your NI account to see if everything is still under Registered Products or has something dropped back to Unregistered?

Everything is registered. I think some of this is related to my Cubase 15 Library templates (which are ten years + old) are trying to load old Kontakt Versions. I have been with Kontakt since the beginning. So far I have successfully resolved a few by recreating them in K8.

Absynth 5 seems to be invisible to K8

Absynth 5 is a standalone synth and is not a Kontakt library.

You would need to have this specific instrument (VST2) plugin installed on it own for it to show up in older projects.

And it would help to know exactly "where" you are seeing the word "Demo".

If it is listed on every product inside Native Access - that is major. However - if you are seeing one-offs in Kontakt itself - that would be specific to that library being loaded.

Thank you for your help VP. I think I am resolving stuff. I forgot Absynth 5 is not a Kantakt Library plug in. I have my Cubase Plugin mode set to VST3 only, so this would be the issue. I shall forego Absynth 5, though it is a great synth, I do have plenty more.

Appreciate your help, it brought clarity
