Previous versions of recently updated Kontakt libraries / compatibility with K6 older libraries

Thank you for doing this, I too got caught by this, I prefer to keep my libraries and other products updated between projects (good hygiene) but like most, unfortunately rarely pay too much attention to the release notes.

I'd love to be able to mark a product as "Held" on a certain version in Native Access. That would permit me to mark the libraries that are critical to my current work as immutable during a project but still otherwise apply blanket updates to the others. I can then "Release" my held components for an update when it's a good time to do so.

Ideally, Native Access would warn if a breaking change such as a new minimum version of a player or instrument will result from the update, especially if it knows that the dependency is not installed.

Cheers.

Very welcomed initiative to publish previous versions.

And I second the requests to have the previous installers publicly back (in the end it was already there in NI website, you just stopped adding the updates some years ago) and to have NA manage better these kind of things.

But…one question arises: does this mean that new updates that incorporate new MK3 possibilities will mean troubles for people wanting to use previous hardwares or previous versions of Kontakt or KK?

AKA: will users not adopting new hardware and new Kontakt not be able to install new versions of their softwares?

This would be a bad move…

Thanks for this. I was not aware of the update consequences until I read a thread on VI-Control, which also gave a link to this page. It would be great if at the top of Native Access in the notification area, a sentence of warning could be inserted about the possible adverse consequences of updating but continuing to use Kontakt 6, along with a link for further details (similar to the current notice about Apple Silicone compatibility).

I apologize but I am new here....I am trying to understand this issue I am having. I think I am in the right place.

I had Kontakt 6 as part of NI Komplete 13. I accidentally updated to the trial version (or whatever) of Kontakt 7 in NI access. Also I didn't realize what I was doing but I just clicked update next to the different instruments in my library. Now certain instruments like Noire give me the error message in both the Kontakt 6 and Kontakt7 as well as Komplete Kontrol.

So if I am getting the error message "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file. Please update to the latest version." for a particular library do I just put back an older version of Noir for instance or whatever sounds are giving me the message? How would I do this?

When I purchased Komplete 13 it came with the hard drive. Do I drag and drop? I am not sure how to proceed and I have music that is due soon.

Thank you!

The links listed above, fixed my issue. Thank you!
