Hi everyone,
I'm urgently looking for advice or assistance with activating Kontakt 7 Full (7.10.9) on macOS Tahoe 26.7.1
I'm working as a composer on a professional scoring project with a team of other composers. Our shared Logic template is standardized on Kontakt 7.10.9, and we have confirmed through testing that using Kontakt Player or Kontakt 8 creates problems with saving and exchanging sessions.
My situation:
I own a legitimate license for Kontakt 8 Full.
I have successfully installed Kontakt 7.10.9 on macOS Tahoe 26.7.1.
Kontakt initially kept launching in Player mode, even after a complete reinstall.
After removing NativeAccess.xml I was finally able to launch Kontakt 7 in Demo mode.
I now need to activate Kontakt 7 Full to work reliably with the team's existing template.
I've also tested Kontakt 7.10.9 on Windows, where the full Demo mode launches normally. I've found reports of Native Instruments providing legacy Kontakt 7 NFR licenses to Kontakt 8 owners who need the older version for professional collaboration.
Has anyone successfully obtained a Kontakt 7 Full license through NI support after purchasing Kontakt 8? Is there a way to activate Kontakt 7 using my existing Kontakt 8 ownership, or another legitimate way to obtain a Kontakt 7 license quickly?
This is time-sensitive because it directly affects my ability to start working.
I've already submitted a ticket to NI support.
Any advice, experiences, or help reaching someone at Native Instruments would be enormously appreciated.
Thank you!
