New Komplete Install Questions

Hello. I have a Komplete 9 license, and I recently bought the boxed Komplete 13 upgrade. I installed Komplete 13 on a new computer yesterday - I had not previously installed Komplete 9 on this new computer, so I was making a new install of Komplete 13 on this new computer.
Everything went well (thank you NI).
- However, now that the install is finished, my computer desktop has two icons for Kontact (Kontact and Kontact 5), and two icons for Reaktor (Reaktor 5 and 6). I am curious why the install included multiple versions of the same software. Can I remove the older redundant versions of installed software - not just the desktop icons, but the app itself?
- Because I have also previously bought additional Kontact products (Scarabee Funk Guitar and Electricity), these were also installed at the same time I did the install of Komplete 13. However, the Native Access app is telling me that I need to install the Electricity library. I believe I have the Electricity DVD. How do I install the Electricity library?
Thanks for your help.

1) As you have also Komplete 9, you have licence for Kontakt 5 and 6, Reaktor 5 and 6 and Guitar Rig 5 and 6.
If you do not need older versions, you may uninstall them. On Win using Windows Add/Remove Program. On Mac it is a bit more work.

This is a 3rd party library, so you'll just have to follow these steps to make it work:

Thank you Kubrak for your informative reply.
I am new to using Native Access so there are parts of this install operation that I did not understand. My studio computer is normally "off-line", and I did not understand that Native Access must be on-line to work at all (with my studio computer off-line, I was unable to get to the Native Access Preferences menu to check on the installation locations). I bought the boxed version of Komplete 13 because my own internet access is slow. So I needed to be online anyways because I needed Native Access to do the installation even tho' I was installing the boxed version of Komplete 13. Consequently, after clicking on Install All, Native Access installed these older versions of the software, along with the newer versions. I did not understand this when I started.
Can you or anyone answer my question about loading a Kontact instrument "library"?
Thanks again.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.
Here is a screenshot of my Naive Access:
If anyone can tell me what I need to do to get the Electricity instrument working - i.e. how do I "add library" - I appreciate it. Thanks

Thank you Nico for your helpful reply. I will try your suggestion and report back on my progress.
I'm interested in what you say about a 3rd party library. At the time I installed Komplete 13, the Kontact instrument Scarabee Funk Guitar (for which I had earlier bought a license) was also installed. I assumed Scarabee Funk Guitar was also a 3rd party library, so I was surprised that it was installed at the same time as Komplete 13.

Scarbee Funk is not a 3rd party, it's a NI product 👍
