Hello,

I am a post production professional, currently working on MacGyver for CBS. I purchased Kontakt 5 this weekend specifically so I could use various Foley SFX library's for "walking foley" on the various shows and independent movies I work on. I have no interest, nor use for, the musical instruments that came with the product.

I purchased The Complete Foley Collection, and Edward Ultimate, two foley collections.

My question is this: can I install Kontakt at work so I can use these libraries? I had anticipated being able to "deactivate" the product on my home machine, as I do with various other softwares, but I don't see any option to do so.

I would, of course, uninstall the package from my work computer as soon as the job is complete.

Thanks for your quick attention.

You should have two simultaneous authorisations anyway.

Unless you have Komplete- then, you have three.

Thanks for the quick replies, folks. I actually DID read the license agreement, and had seen that. Being new to the software, I don't know how difficult it is to actually uninstall / reinstall the software. I've already installed it on my laptop and my desktop at home. I suppose it'll be very rare that I would use my laptop, so maybe the answer is to simply uninstall it from there and use the second at work, temporarily.

I guess nobody outside of the company would actually know if they'd flag me for a third install. Only one would ever be used at a time, of course.

My vote, if anybody at Native Instruments is reading this, is to actually implement an activation / deactivation scheme for freelancers. I know most people hate it, but I actually quite prefer iLok for specifically this reason. Install the software anywhere, and take your iLok from job to job.

Or take your laptop from job to job? That's what I do.

I'd prefer to work on my workstation at work, but I suppose I could do some work from the laptop.

iLok is indeed handy for this kind of stuff.
