Native Access Upgrade

I have an older MAC, High Sierra 10.16.6 and haven't logged into Native Access in years. When I did I received a message about needing to upgrade. I attempted to upgrade, but received a message that my system was too old. Tried to find a way around it, no luck. Any suggestions, besides buying a new Mac. Can't get to various upgrades for my products

    Native Access Legacy InstallersLatest version of Native Access for High Sierra is 1.10.0. You can find it on:

    Won‘t install the newest versions of many products - but most current versions won‘t be supported on High Sierra anyway.

    Native Access 1 won‘t be around forever. You should look for a newer Mac supporting newer versions of macOS soon.

    If you intend to stick with this old machine - get all your product fully working and then do not change anything. Like ever. That means staying far away from Native Access as well.

    A day will come very soon where you will not be able to install/reinstall anything. So any unnecessary messing around may put you in a spot where you won’t be able to activate your stuff.

    Then you may have no choice but to buy an expensive new computer - which may or may not be a good thing.

    Thanks. My High Sierra was a 10.13, so I downloaded the legacy installer 1.14.1. I finally got it to work & was able to open NI Access & see all that was waiting there. As I said it had been years. Updates to Komplete Kontakt, Kontakt player, a couple of the Session Guitar instruments. Maschine 2 Essentials. A few new installs. So glad I was finally able to get in there.

    Just make sure you lock that machine down tight in the coming months.

    Native Access v1 will be put on permanent vacation sometime in 2025 and will no longer be serviceable.

    "lock that machine down tight", what do you mean?

    Thanks VP & Maniacintosh, who sent the links. I will lock everything down, as the computer does everything I need. The music stuff is not a focus for me at this point. If I want to play around with Logic Pro X, I have more than enough "stuff" to play with. Have to love the internet. After this reconnections with Native Instrument, I'm getting ads from them on my social media. LOL
