Native Access - failed to download latest update

Dr Foo · 2023-04-02T23:45:48+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi all, I am on a Mac OS High Sierra and recently had a harddrive replaced so all my NI software is now asking to be re-registered via Native Access. When I try to do so via Native Access, it keeps saying failed to download the latest update, whether it is for Traktor, Kontakt etc. I read that we need to download Native Access 2, but it is not compatible with OS High Sierra.

In order to get my NI software to work again, do I need to upgrade my OS to get Native Access 2, or is there a way to fix this bug with my current Native Access?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replies! I found an installer for Native Access 1, and reinstalled it. Now it works. Seems like Mac OS High Sierra can't do Native Access 2 yea, but at time same time I am wary of upgrading my OS as I fear some apps I am using (Traktor etc) will glitch

Do you mean Native Access 3?? Cause we're on version 3.2. I'd hope by this point version 2 can run on any OS...

Hi, I found a work around on Mac OS.

I noticed that downloads didn't fail if my computer was active. ie I was doing something on it.

So I downloaded a free app called Amphetamine from the Mac App Store. This keeps your desktop alive.

Every single download on Native Access downloaded and install after that.

@Dr Foo It might be time to update to 10.15, Support was dropped for Native Access 2 on 10.14.

Native Access 1 is legacy, meaning it's not developed anymore and it can be that new activation mechanisms no longer work on this legacy system. Maybe my colleagues can provide some installers, you can get in touch here: http://bit.ly/NIsupport_install

@Dr Foo Thanks for the update. I should have provided the link for the old Native Access installers. I'll share it now, in case other users are faced with the same issue: Native Access Legacy Installers for Older Operating Systems

Salve, qualcuno mi sa dire cosa significa che nel mio account manca il prodotto bal per questo seriale? Come posso risolvere. Grazie

It sounds like you have a serial number for a product upgrade like from Komplete 13 to Komplete 14 but you don't own Komplete 13 so the upgrade won't work. What is the serial number for ?
