I'm going to guess that even though it says it doesn't work with Windows 7, it will work. I have programs I bought with XP that work with Windows 10. Windows is pretty backwards compatible.
I'm not looking forward to upgrading to 10. But I think everything I have will work with it. I just don't like their upgrading policies.

Eh, if it requires Kontakt Player then it's not that big a deal. It's when the libraries that don't use NI's DRM require "full" Kontakt 6. And that's probably some time away, as it will definitely impact sales. This requirement wouldn't impact Heavyocity's sales much, if it all.mgw38 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 5:38 pm Well, it finally happened. If you are going for the Heavyocity NOVO Essentials intro or cross grade offer, be aware that this library requires Kontakt 6. It will not work in Kontakt 5. Fortunately it works with the free version of Kontakt 6.
I seriously need the NI Komplete upgrade sale now. Spring, where are you?

This is precisely the thing - I also just assumed (Tappistry, be kind) it'd work even if not listed as supported - it doesnt! Thats where I was surprised. Do let me know if you decide to try make it work and somehow succeed, Id def be interested to trial the ALK2.dzilizzi wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 8:46 pm I'm going to guess that even though it says it doesn't work with Windows 7, it will work.

I dont know about their upgrading policy but I have been constantly messed around with their automatic forced updates!

At the moment it's more of a workflow thing. I now need to use both Kontakt versions simultaneously.yellowmix wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:40 pmEh, if it requires Kontakt Player then it's not that big a deal.

Understandable, and I don't know if every DAW can do it, but I have every Kontakt instrument in a track template so I don't need to bother with choosing a Kontakt version and finding and loading it in Kontakt. So there is no workflow impact for me.

LOL! I meant updating policies. Did you try right clicking and running it in compatibility mode?Insanelysane wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:46 pmThis is precisely the thing - I also just assumed (Tappistry, be kind) it'd work even if not listed as supported - it doesnt!

Agreed. BestService has it for $45 so if you have any BestCoin stored up that might knock the price down below the DontCrack price.
Check the re-sellers, don't check the re-sellers. I don't care.

Some anecdotal information:hhuang9611 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 4:01 amWTF???? I got the code 24H-AcmE-4929-190216A and it only cuts the price to 49. (And sadly, I have placed my order) What kind of trick is this? I am a heavy hitter and on $75 voucher tier, is this how PA repay my loyalty? I'm opening up a ticket now.
I'm a heavy hitter at the $75 tier and already own the plugin and I did not get a voucher.
One of my sons, who is a heavy hitter at the $25 tier and owns 72 paid plugins, and has purchased something in the last few months got the $49 voucher.
Another son, who is not a heavy hitter and owns 60 purchased plugins and hasn't purchased anything for a while, got the $29 voucher.

If you own a plugin, PA does not send you any sales info and coupons for that plugin. I kind of appreciate that.

I guess they figured if you regularly buy their plugins, you would spend $49 for one. However, if you rarely buy plugins, they need to tempt you back with something lower priced. Probably didn't expect the sharing and discussion they are getting. I wonder what they think about the fact that people they send $49 codes to are using the $29 codes.....
