Yes, of coarse you can, but need to load the VST in Kontakt Player as new one again.

I wish Kontakt was a little bit nicer to me

Not true! I can’t make the damn Activate button go away … I’m on the latest version of both.

That is correct. You’re getting demo mode because you’re using Kontakt Player.

I believe you can load non-serial number libraries through the quick load feature in Kontakt 5 without going through Native Access. At least you can do it in Kontakt 6.

WIth all due respect and not meaning to be rude, I can assure that is the least relevant question one could possibly come up with. There is simply no one who cares.

Composers who work on deadlines and have projects that use 120 different VST-instruments and sample libraries/instruments don’t have time to peruse through each license agreement for individual quirks or mishaps in them. Sample library developers and NI who barely have time and resources to answer user inquiries don’t care what someone does.

As for samples and sampler interfaces, I’ll present another scenario: sometimes developers supply a user interface with their samples that doesn’t work – at all – but do any license agreements include a protection clause for the customer, that says the customer can make their own interface or download an earlier one that works, seeing as they paid for the right to use the samples? None that I’ve heard of, in fact many might prohibit that by forbidding reverse-engineering. If you refuse to get a replacement interface to play the samples you paid for because of what is or isn’t in the license agreement, I can tell you, you’re not going to get far in your music career, nor life in general.

It’s up to each and everyone of us to act professionally and ethnically and draw the lines, because license agreements aren’t made by gods who can account for every single scenario users in their endless creativity come up with outside of making music.

If someone rather struggles with the 30-minute time limit of Kontakt Player rather than getting full Kontakt, all I can say is, that is either admirable cheapskatedness or moral determination. The last thing I would be wondering about is what the license agreement for the sample player says.

Thanks for your quick and detailed reply. Have a nice one!
