You could try the offline method. It wouldn't be much more hassle.

Yeah. I did the offline registration. It was quick and painless.

I'm liking this a lot. It's a good complement to the solid compressors which work nicely for more smooth compression jobs. This is good for really 'smacky', in your face stuff

Service Center doesn't see it, but I'm assuming this is one function of making the installer require OS10.7+. I extracted the things out of the package, the installer won't run here (shout out to TheoM who hipped me to 'Pacifist'). IE: there is a version of SC that won't work pre-10.7. I could render something with it on in Cubase which still sees it but it won't save with the project. It doesn't appear to be in demo mode but it's crippled like that without activating it. Offline, well Service Center just won't see it.

thanks for the heads up - I think I will pass this one...

I've given up on all NI stuff for now. Their stuff just won't install on XP. I was able to get the latest version of Kontakt installed with the help of another KVRite, but the Drum Lab that I purchased and this compressor will not install.

The Kontakt installer was giving me a message that it must have system 7 or higher. We used application verifier to get around the error message. Oh, BTW, Kontakt 5.3.0 runs perfectly with XP... NI is just made it SOOOOOOOOO difficult for their users these days. I've spent a few hundred $$ on their products so I think this is a really poor way to treat paying customers... just saying!

Now with Drum Lab, I get a checksum error and this compressor install insists that system 7 be installed. I find it odd that I can't use the same workaround for Supercharger as I did for Kontakt. Leads me to believe that someone for NI was following the thread to get Kontakt to run and decided to add even more XP obstacles to the installer.

Yea, I know I need to move up to system 7 but I can not afford it at this time.

I even have some free stuff at the Presonus site that came with Studio One 2 that I'm not going to waste my time on.

Installed it late last night but I was so tired I just shut down and didn't do anything with it. Will get round to it tonight if I can.

Read this (edit included):

The exact name of the process that needs to be fooled is the one that appears in the window where you are informed of the Windows 7 requirement. In this case, "Supercharger Setup PC.exe", not "Supercharger 1.1.0 Setup PC.exe".

Don't give up, fight the Windows 7 tyranny!

I installed this on Win 7 - no problems. Activation smooth. I love it. GUI is smaller than you'd think
(but maybe that's a good thing)

Do you need any other NI stuff to run it?

Do you need to register it to get a serial with the NI service thingy?

Don't know if you need other stuff, but you do need Service Center installed to register it.
