    Kore 2 and Service Center were officially retired years ago.

    Your only possible recourse is to contact NI Support and see what they might be able to do.

    As already suggested by Vocal'point then you need to contact N.I. Native Access and Installation Support to see if they can help you do an activation.

    In case that you need guidance contacting support : How to contact NI Support and How to get in touch with our Customer Care

    I could activate it with Native Access Version 1.14.1 from this link here:

    Native Access v1 is not Service Center.

    Core 2 cannot be activated via any version of Native Access. See here:

    It works but only when Native Access 1.14 is open

    Cool. According to that article I linked there was no mention of Kore 2 but if it works - it works.

    Just know that NAv1 is no longer supported and the service that runs it will be retired later this year. If you change machines or need to activate this again in the future - this avenue you found here may not be possible.

    Glad you got it going. Enjoy!

    Well - this product was retired in 2011 -7+ years before Native Access v1 even existed.

    Not exactly sure what you are expecting to see. There are no tools available to end users to activate this - regardless of what you try.

    The last resort is contacting NI Support to see if they can do anything.

    no need to comment like that. I didnt complain nor i asked for further support. It was just a funny fact and i was testing out how the software reacts when i put in the serial in Native Access 2, therefore the :) in the last post, perhaps for someone else who crosses the thread. Your post is semi agressive and not helpful at all as you already stated to contact support. I‘m writing this as well because your first post that Native Access cannot activate Kore 2 was just wrong, as it did somehow. Tbh i respect people like you who give a lot of support to users in forums but please make sure to communicate adequately with helpful information.

    "Your post is semi aggressive and not helpful at all as you already stated to contact support."

    My post was not aggressive in the least. It explains your options in very plain terms - along with your only solution.

    Nobody would know to interpret your experiments as "funny". If you found it aggressive - that was certainly not my intent, but I have no control how you want to frame it.

    This is a public forum and if you ask a question - expect all kinds of answers from all kinds of people.

    But I think I answered you straight up in post #3.

    thanks for pointing towards your intention again. I guess i took it that way as well as sometimes when someone doesnt know something for sure but pretends to do theoretically with that rules out the possibility of a real solution. In this example Native Access 1 somehow activated Kore 2 when it was acitvated before once with Service Center. You denied that this will work in post 5 even i said it does i needed you to proof with screenshots. And so i think it is a logical process that i start further investigating solutions even just for investigation and information for others, thats kind of a documentation peocess where others could find some helpful information. That‘s why i tried again other possibilities like fresh activation in Native Access 2. when a solution which isnt pretend to work works like activate it in N.A 1 there could be other solutions working as well. And then you pretend again what i expect etc. means you took your initial position with nothing will work i should contact support etc. At this moment i would expect a change in consulting strategy when a solution surprisingly worked other solutions could do as well. So i dont need to listen to you but as you‘re an expert in this Forum of course i does. I guess this created my feeling resp. how i framed your post. But thanks for your help anyway. Nice weekend

    @Thusis

    Firstly - I am no expert. Do not let that forum "handle" make you think otherwise :)

    Just trying to answer support issues where I can and hopefully get users back on track.

    "I guess this created my feeling resp. how i framed your post. But thanks for your help anyway. Nice weekend"

    Enjoy your weekend too.
