  9. DO NOT USE THE OPTIONAL FULL PATCH, It contains a trojan. I recommend using another crack. I do want to thank the Estonian hacker that got into all my socials for not deleting anything, I appreciate the fact that all you did was just send photos. so if you’re reading this, thank you for not being an asshole.

    1. yea my computer caught it before it could do anything, but yea don’t run that shit. I take it without that patch tho its not cracked so I have to find another one that’s not infested. Any leads? this is already one of the less sketchy platforms so idk where else to look

  11. Is this new posting as of June 21st a freshly updated version that works?
    I actually own Kontakt, would cracking it let me use pirated libraries that aren’t stuck in demo mode, without fucking up my legitimately licensed content?

  24. I don’t know where to send the request, so I decided to do it here. Applies to Expressive E Noisy 2, Soliste and Imagine. The MacOS version is cracked, but not the Win version. Since it is about iLok licensing, only the R2R group can do it. I would greatly appreciate it if you could publish this request. Thanks in advance.

  30. Maybe this will help, who knows, but you can always get the latest NativeAccess.xml file via BobDule’s alternative method:

    1. Go to https://api.native-instruments.com/static/phints/NativeAccess.xml
    2. Once you are there in your browser, just go to File -> Save Page As… and save it as NativeAccess.xml
    3. Easy peasy! Now just use that file in your C:Program FilesCommon FilesNative InstrumentsService Center folder replacing the old one.
    4. Hope this helps you guys and wishing you all a happy and musical holiday!

    1. It has no virus,you just haven’t bothered to look into cracked software and keygens and the way they can trigger antivirus software.

      1. Don’t talk fucking Rubbish moksja! Anybody with knowledge, will realise, if you can’t get in, without a proper 🔑 it’s damaged or inappropriate.

    1. Hopefully somebody with talent will be able to make Kontakt work without all the aggravation, and hassle. Just straightforward install and 🔑 🙏

  43. I checked Kontakt 8.5.0 Patcher.exe on virustotal.com and got a zillion virus alerts. How come you all are installing this like nothing is wrong with that file?

    Reply

    1. Did you know??? MOST patchers ANDkeygens are going to pop a virus…
      BECAUSE ??? Their file structures have been changed to accomodate the new entries.. Some of the groups bury the lines of input better than others…

      So just by it’s nature of a “changed file”… the patchers and keygens ding…

  48. Works but I can not add instruments! Everything is done by the guides. It finds one instrument from my library, besides the stock piano and that’s it. Has anybody a solution for that?

    1. Weird because if follow everything as instructed should work fine all is working for me as it should.

  49. Many people say it doesn’t work because they have an older version along with the libraries, which causes problems when inserting a library. The only solution is to DELETE ALL CONTENTS FROM “C:UsersPublicDocumentsNative Instrumentsinstalled_products” and of course AFTER installing KONTAKT.

    Then open the executable called “Kontakt_Button.exe” for the libraries located in “C:Program FilesNative InstrumentsKontakt 8”

    BUT FIRST, YOU MUST COMPLETELY DISABLE YOUR ANTI-VIRUS.

    After opening the executable to insert the libraries, find the drive where your libraries are and insert them one by one until everything is complete.

    NOTE: Just in case, if you insert a library and then open the DAW, it will register the library in KONTAKT. However, if you do the INSERTION AGAIN, it won’t appear when you open the DAW again. This is because the “installed_products” folder registers ALL THE LIBRARIES, WHETHER YOU HAVE THEM OR NOT. To do this, you HAVE TO DELETE THEM ALL AGAIN, BUT IT WILL NOT AFFECT THE ONE YOU HAVE REGISTERED. This way, you can insert the rest without opening the DAW or KONTAKT.

    With these steps, registering any library will work fine.

    NOW, but when it’s NEW, meaning CLEAN, with the UPDATED version, even if you insert and open the DAW simultaneously, it WILL NOT AFFECT IT, because YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PREVIOUS VERSION, since the INSTALLATION IS CLEAN WITHOUT ANY OLD KONTAKT.

    Anyway, I hope this makes sense, since I’m Spanish and my English is a bit poorly translated.

    1. Wow, such hard work, 🙁 I cant be bothered! I just want to install Kontakt with a registration button. Is that to much to ask? 😂🤣

    2. Hice todos esos pasos tal cuál, y sigo sin poder instalar la librería del Session Guitarist – Electric Mint. ¿Es porque la versión que está en esta página no funciona, o estaré haciendo algo mal?
