Man, W10 works as great as W7, trust me, my PC is old, too (by 2007), but I use W10 since 2015 having installed it over my W7 with keeping whole the files and system, it’d be “Windows Old”, so if you still won’t like W10, you’ll can go back to your current W7 state easily. Also if your W7 is any kind activated, then your W10 will be also automatically activated forever for free. Just do it with official downloadable Media creation tool by Microsoft!))

THAAAANKS!!!!!

I mean “Kontakt Player” license.

Instruments that need “Full Kontakt” are ones made by third party developers who won’t pay the fee to Native Instruments for a Kontakt Payer license.
They are often independent and very small developers who are creating Kontakt instruments for non commercial reasons, and often giving them away for free.
I don’t think it’s the same thing as requiring Pace/iLok.

Not anymore. That upgrade path was just recently removed.

Same here. I knew they were going to ask for more on the 2nd page when at first they made it seem like an email was the only requirement. Then sure enough, second page they wanted a name and an account. That’s usually a red flag, but alright, fair enough, it’s really not much for an actual quality product. Then I got a 300MB installer for hub software, not even the actual product, which in turn installed PACE/iLok… Oh no, it’s not worth all this.. Uninstall everything.

I’ve got good compressors, I don’t need this. I’m glad I know how they operate now. It would’ve been worse if I actually bought it and then found out what junk they dump on my computer for just one lousy plugin.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Many Thanks!

Thanks for that info. Perhaps not all is lost for my trusty laptop.
