How do I purchase Maschine 3 without bundled software?

Like in title.

I don't need bundled software as I already have them. Including Massive, Monark, Reaktor Prime. And I have more powerful versions of Ozone and Neutron.

If you are referring to buying Maschine hardware as in Maschine MK3 then as far as I know then you can not get the hardware any cheaper by e.g. claiming that you do not need the base software that comes with the hardware.

Same goes for the software, if you want the Maschine 3 software but do not want any of the other free 'complimentary' software (ref. *: And old favorites, synths Monark, Massive, and Reaktor Prism come as part of the package too) then there is no way that that is going to save you any money since the 'extra software' is given as a free extra incentive (N.I. software promotion) and you pay zero extra for the software and you save zero if not using it or not wanting it. Also then you can usually not chop up N.I. software bundles and sell it in parts.

The way to save money is to buy at the N.I. sales and / or take advantage of bundle offers when available and when possible.

If you are a Maschine 2 user, go to the link below and choose the "Software Update only" option:

You can’t. The additional software is included for those who don’t have any if it, or because it’s always been part of the Maschine bundle.

So you are saying that, I could just re-sell the additional software later? As far I know, after you buy the software, NI would just add the serial numbers to your account. And you can (or won't) register them with NI Access. That way I have spare license for Super8 for example.

Yes you can sell software you do not want any more, and then transfer your license to the new owner

If you are referring to the complimentary software that you get with the Maschine 3 software then no I tried to tell you that you couldn't do that in case that the thought should enter your mind, I wrote quote : "Also then you can usually not chop up N.I. software bundles and sell it in parts.". And if you get the software with a hardware device as 'base' software then that can usually not be transferred (a free copy of non-transferable base software goes with the device) .

But if you are referring to standalone retail software single software licenses that you purchases or whole bundles for that matter that you have bought , like if you bought "Super8" by itself and not as part of a bundle then sure then you could most likely sell the software over at N.I. Forum Buy / Sell / Trade .

You can check on this page if the software is transferable. Please notice though that there is a cool down period for what can be transferred so that you can not transfer anything yourself for the first 6 (?) month after registration , in that period then transfers can only be done by the help of support.
