Does Purchasing Kontakt 7 Allow You to Download Kontakt 6?

I have a friend who wants Kontakt 7 but is on Windows 11. Apparently K7 is not working on W11.

I am wondering, if he buys K7, can you still download older versions of Kontakt and will the Kontakt Full license apply?

I was certain I did that years ago when I bought Kontakt 6 I was able to download Kontakt 5 and K5 showed as licensed.

    Hey @DarylWise Kontakt 7 works on Windows 11, it's in the system requirements.

    It means that your friend should get in touch with support to help him make Kontakt 7 on his system, here is a link: http://bit.ly/NIsupport_kontakt

    Kontakt full licences are not backward compatible but you can always buy second hand licences. If you only need Kontakt Player, we can provide them.

    No, one may not use Kontakt 6 using Kontakt 7 licence. Maybe NI could revert K7 licence to K6 licence upon request. But to go back to K7 one would have to buy upgrade, I guess. But, maybe I am wrong...

    Definitely, without negotiation with NI K7 licence cannot be used for K6.
