I've no idea why this has happened, a few weeks ago I used this library, all was as fine as it's ever been, whether in Kontakt 5 when I bought the library, or when I migrated to Kontakt 6. I'm on a Windows 10 64-bit PC.
Yesterday I wanted to load this library Kontakt into 6 but noticed that it was suddenly gone from my Libraries tab. Wouldn't load from the files tab.
So I downloaded and installed Native Access again (now v3.11.1), deleted the library, reinstalled it. Native Access said it was installed though it was still absent from the Libraries tab.
Using the Files browser I clicked on Picked Acoustic.nki and got a message "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file. Please update to the latest version."
Was using Kontakt 6.71. (I also have K5 installed and K7 Player, though I never use the latter, crashes my DAW and I don't need it for anything. Would delete it but figure that could break something, who knows, NI seems to work in mysteious ways these days). In Native Access there was a blue "i" (info icon) under "Kontakt" (unhelpfully it doesn't say if it's K5, K6 or whatever) saying an update was available.
So I updated, to what turns out to be Kontakt 6.8, the "i" icon is gone and no other "alert" is shown by it in NA. But no change; the library is again shown by NA to be installed, but it is still missing from the Library tab, and again, using the Files browser I clicked on Picked Acoustic.nki and got a message "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file. Please update to the latest version."
This is no longer amusing. I've paid for and registered the library and Kontakt; for no apparent reason this library breaks; I obediently jump through all the hoops of updating NA and Kontakt when it is suggested, and it still doesn't work; just at a time when I really want to resume work on projects which use it, but which are now off limits because my brand new update to K6 is still considered to be too old. Well, it's the only version NA offered me, so... ? Does this mean I have to updgrade to K7 to use this library? I won't be be bulldozed into that.
I'm not a techie. Can someone offer any clear guidance? All I want is my projects back, with that library loaded, using the same settings (picking patterns etc) I'd been using in the projects? Most of the software I've used since the early 90s tends to remember settings, launch when you launch it etc.
Does using this as directed need this be so very painful?
I love my Kontakt libraries (I've spent thousands on them over the years) but now fear using them unless I render every stem to a wav file because god only knows when I will lose access to them. They should rename Native Access to "Native Access Denied".
