In reply to Alter Diego. Thank you for the hint with Arcane. I confirm, I get no chance with Drum'Mica to upgrade to Kontakt Full.

In reply to Tomislav Zlatic. Who knows maybe it depends on your region / licences but I had no offer to upgrade (despite having the banks named above). As soon as I registered Arcane (did not need to install it either) I had access to the upgrade for Kontakt. I didn't do any other tests but thought it'd be worth mentioning if anyone had this problem! Thanks again Tomislav for all the news about free/budget tools related to music : ).

In reply to Alter Diego. That's interesting, I thought it should work with any third-party free library for Kontakt.

Just a heads up for anyone looking to upgrade : Arcane seems to be one of the only “qualifying” free sample libraries for an upgrade to Kontakt 6. Drum’Mica, Komplete Start and ProjectSam’s Free Orchestra did not qualify me for an upgrade in my case.

Been waiting for this update, thanks a lot Tom! :)
(Still not sure whether to get Kontakt this year, but I have 3 more weeks to decide.)
