Just about to go out but I'll do that later this afternoon

I put the broad strokes here though (last 3 posts) - to start you need to go inside the original installer (right click/show package contents) and swap the distribution.dist file for this one which has the OS version check removed:

1) Fix installer so it doesn't flag up an unsupported OS - rightclick on latest installer version (from NI website here https://www.native-instruments.com/en/s ... &t=updates) - select 'show package contents' and swap out the distribution.dist file for the one in the attached ZIP (previous post)
2) Run installer (obviously you will need to use the rightclick/install method to bypass Gatekeeper) - if you have your original install DVD it will ask for this - if you don't you need to mount a copy of the original iso installer, which used to be available from the NI website but I can't see it anymore on the downloads site, but PM me if you have a problem there ;)
3) Once installed activation should be just a case of copying your serial from https://www.native-instruments.com/en/m ... downloads/ and entering into NA. However I found that while it did accept it at first I still couldn't see Kore 2 in NA, so had to close NA, then manually copy over a couple of files from Carbon Copy Clone of Mohave (com.native-instruments.Kore2.plist and com.native-instruments.Kore2.plist.lockfile from Library/Preferences), then reopen NA and activate it again.
4) I couldn't install most of my sound packs as they are packaged with InstallerVise, which doesn't work on Big Sur but I found you can bypass that by copying the files over manually and then using the same trick of copying over the .plists to make them show in NA, then entering the serials from my account. The file locations for these are:

Sample content goes in Kore 2 Sample Content
Libraries go in /Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Shared Content
Soundpack files (with a .ksp extension) go in Shared Content/Soundpacks and
The Pack sounds go in Shared Content/Sounds/SoundPacks (apart from the ones for Absynth, Massive and FM8 which go in their respective folders)

If NA tells you it needs these relocating then point it to those locations once you have copied over the content

I didn't install the hardware drivers - those will not work - I plan to use Kore software as I did under Mohave by creating a midi template for it in Komplete Kontrol and mapping the XY to my Lightpad Block

It's crashed a few times on plugin scan though - I may end up creating a dedicated VST folder for safe plugins

I am over the Moon that I found this post! I’ve managed to install my Kore 2 on a Mac that I installed Mavericks on so as to make sure the hardware works as well and after a few days scratching my head and getting tech support from NI, I managed to install Komplete 6 and Kore and authorise it all, but 1 big problem now is that I don’t have my Kore Soundpack installers that I was certain that I had backed up! What are the chances good man that you have installers that you can share? I have it registered on my account, so it shouldn’t be a problem getting it up and running.
Thank you so much in advance! 🙏🏻

Apparently I can’t access private messages if I have less than 2 posts on the forum, that’s a safeguard against spammers?
