[Solved] Way to update from Kontakt 5.5.1 to 5.5.2 (while avoiding Native Access?) 2017-10-28T20:44:04+00:00 Way to update from Kontakt 5.5.1 to 5.5.2 (while avoiding Native Access?) As per the the title ... I recently bought part of the Dronar Kontakt Library, but only after confirming with the vendor that, as stated in the manual, it works with Kontakt 5.5. This was crucial for me because of all the problems I've heard re Kontakt 5.6 and Native Access which I just don't want to risk. (Please let's not get on a tangent like "Well, 5.6+ and Native Access all works fine for me, only idiots have problems"; if you're good, great; but too many people have experienced otherwise; the topic is not whether I should stay with 5.5 , but rather is whether I can via 5.5.2.) Anyway, I installed the Dronar library but, as you can see in this desktop video, https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cb6u2F2cXw I get this message: "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file. You can update to the latest version by exiting Kontakt and starting Service Center." I don't know why I'd get this, as my version is 5.5.1, which falls under the min spec of Kontakt 5.5. I've written the vendor but as it's the weekend I thought maybe I can help myself by upgrading via the Service Center to Kontakt 5.5.2 (which is the highest I'm ready to go right now). But no go, the only thing the Service Center offers is Kontakt 5.6.something. This article https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/213182645-KONTAKT-5-Error-Message-Your-version-of-Kontakt-is-too-old-to-load-this-file- tells me to update via Native Access, but 1) I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole and 2) I doubt it would let me go to just 5.5.2, it seems like some kind of enforcer droid designed to sheperd us all into 5.6+, whether NI is technically on top of things or not. So, is there any way (except via Native Access) to update to 5.5.2? Any help much appreciated. lingyai https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=248888

Usually you don't.
