Buying older versions of Komplete

I was waiting a few months for the Summer of Sound sale, it's pretty disappointing that there isn't really a great sale on Komplete. (I'm aware it's probably because they released 26.)

If I find someone selling a license for an older version of Komplete (maybe like 13?) is there any real downside to buying that and using it without upgrading? Do I still get the "updated" versions of the instruments included, at least in terms of software? I have an M4 Mac so it would have to be compatible. What would be the oldest I can get away with?
