in Native Access

Is there any plan to migrate iZotope and Plugin Alliance plugins that were purchased via other vendors to native Access in the future? I notice that the iZotope pluigns that now come with Komplete etc, can be downloaded via Native Access. I have Neoverb and Ozone 11 which were purchased from a 3rd party vendor but registered to my iZotope account and I am unable to download these via Native Access. Currently I have to use Native Access, iZotope Product Portal and the terrible Plugin Alliance Installation Manager. It would be nice if everything could be downloaded via one installation program.

    Until we get a massive notification of 100% full and complete integration - my general rules are:

    • If it comes from the NI shop - use Native Access
    • If it is from iZoTope - use the Product Portal
    • If it is from Plugin Alliance - use the PA Installer.

    Have never had any issues - regardless of what might appear in Native Access.

    And yes - pretty sure plans are afoot to unify this - but think in terms of glacial migration - rather than a perfect solution in 6 months.

    There are probably thousands of users out there who have iZotope or Plugin Alliance stuff and have no idea whatsoever what Native Access is - and vice versa.

    It will take years to sort this out properly - espeically given the users get really cranky if an activation goes south or a (justified) unification of software managers - results in users not being able to install or activate - because they do not have NA or similar.

    I've never had any issues it's the fact that if I had purchased the plugins via NI I could use native access and not have 3 different installation managers on my PC.

    In a perfect world - yes. We are a long way away from that right now.

    Yes I agree, it would be easy for iZotope plugins, Plugin Alliance would be a different ball game as they have a lot more plugins and from multiple brands that aren't NKS compatible. You take the serial numbers from iZotope plugins and register them with native access the same way you do for other NKS products.
