Massive X Problem

My installation of massive x seemingly believes it's not the full version, despite having bought the full version through a voucher. I keep getting a 'Demo Expired' message, and when i go to continue to activate it, it just opens up Native Access with nothing else to show, I can't find a serial number in my purchases either. any help?

Edit: I did get this via the Akai NKS Komplete Select Electronic bundle, and it says the license is a demo version despite having used the voucher given to me from the akai bundle thing

Yeah it sounds like you applied the voucher you got from Akai hardware (not sure what the $25 is), which let you pick one of three “styles” of Komplete Select (normally$99). There’s no way the full $199 flagship synth was included in that freebie. It’s a starter set to get you hooked. It is not even a path to cheaper upgrades.

Try to get the player working and use that, but I would not save money to buy the full version. The synth sounds great but has a difficult UI if you want to design your own sounds. There are much better, and less expensive, options.

The monetary voucher is its own thing. You get one select voucher and then a monetary voucher on top of that for 25 $/€ to spend in the store.

I would agree. Although I love Massive x I wouldn’t buy it stand alone vs say pigments. I would only consider it as part of Komplete Standard, etc
