    Exactly the same here.

    On the first page, it shows the lower price we could get if we already have a previons Collectors edition that may not be applicable to us. If we have Ultimate edition, it is slightly more expensive.

    I was ready to pay for the 324,50$ to upgrade to collector, but not 389,50$.

    As I bought a few years back Symphonies Collection at 399,95$ price after NI told us it will never be in the Komplete bundles, and I was very sad that a few monthes later they added a Collectors bundle that would make me buy Symphonies Collection twice. I tried to offer my crossgrade license on the forum, but is is understandable that as it is now in the bundle nobody was interested.

    As I am owning these instruments just for personnal fun, making no money out of it, this move from NI really hurted me and now I am in an unpleasant situation, willing to upgrade to Collector to have full completion (even if I barely use a few instruments), but unable to justify the price.

    Added to this is I own a Komplete Kontrol S88 MK1 for which support was shutdown with last versions of the software. I understood that the embedded software was difficult to maintain, but losing support for a such expensive piece of hardware made me sad anyway.

    Sorry for the cry post.

    Nailed it, that's the problem. I am coming from K9U, so the price is correct $389. Thanks for clearing that up.

    About the site issues… even here no VPN, no AD Blocker… no extensions at all.

    But sometimes the site decides to open in German, use different currencies,…

    Let’s be honest: the façade is also well looking, but it has never been a well done site.

    To name just a few other issues: pages with incorrect outdated infos not being updated, discontinued and abandoned products still being offered, miscalculation of prices, a system that should offer dedicated offers often failing, buttons for “show more items” creating duplicates before showing the ulterior products, pages like “what’s new for me” or “hide owned products” showing errors (and showing a different listing every time),… to reach the constantly appearing “unexpected failure” messages when trying to buy something…

    All things that have also been reported… but without interventions… Probably the poor guys working on it receive a lot of “NO!” when asking for means to fix it

    Should we call it a “well curated” website?

    @LostInFoundation Please remember this is a Q&A for users to ask general questions. If there are issues on the website or other issues you want to report, or if you want to start a specific complaint, please feel free to create a dedicated thread.

    So… can we have an answer to the question already asked multiple times about many users not receiving the 10% code?

    Because the risk is that, being ignored, we start talking about something else…

    Btw: I was just commenting about the exact same thing that now you answered with a “thanks for flagging this”

    I know that N.I. wanted to keep the Summer of Sounds question in one thread but because the discussion "Output Essential Engines bundle content" has taken a life completely of it's own the I have moved the "Output Essential Engines bundle content" discussion to a thread of it's own . It is found here : "Output Essential Engines bundle content ?"

    @MAD_84 Did you receive the same total price when buying the individual items as you would have paid for the bundle? I am facing the same issue and have tried everything you described as well. Thanks!

    I tried to use the discount code but was unable to complete payment initially due to problems with my internet connection. I am now trying complete the purchase but am now not able to apply the discount code 🙁

    Sounds like the code was used during a failed purchase. Please reach out to our support team directly. We’ll be happy to give you with a replacement voucher: https://bit.ly/NI_Support_All

    While you are talking about vouchers, I’ll try to repeat once again the (seemingly so uncomfortable) question:

    Why some people received a 10% voucher and some not?

    Thanks. I have a ticket - 4561455

    As I already have a number of the parts of Music Production Suite through Kontakt 15CE any chance there is a crossgrade path? :)

    I bought the Komplete 15 Ultimate update. I had Komplete standard 14. The new serial for Komplete 15 ultimate update is not working. What do I do. Please help. BR Thor Ivar

    Looks like you wanted to buy the upgrade and not the update: What Exactly is a Crossgrade / Update / Upgrade and How Do I Qualify?

    Simply get in touch with support here: https://bit.ly/NI_Support_All so they can sort you out.
