Komplete 11 update sale?

Now there is a work-around, which is also a PITA... but still works more consistently and you have an installation file for back-up/multiple offline installs just like it used to be.
Bear in mind they could just as easily give you this link, but instead they still make you use N-Access and work for each and every component.

For those in need of this method...
> follow these steps to obtain a direct download link:
1. Open Native Access and go to Preferences > File locations. Here you can find the currently set Download location:
2. Open File Explorer and navigate to the download location folder from the Preferences.
3. In Native Access, choose the tab Not installed and click INSTALL for the product that you want to obtain a direct download link for.
4. As soon as the download begins press the keys Ctrl + Alt + Del on your computer keyboard at the same time and choose Task Manager from the list:
5. If the Windows User Account Control asks you to allow the program to make changes to your computer, confirm with Yes.
6. Choose Native Access from the list and click End task.
7. Go back to File Explorer and double-click the .toc-file in the folder you navigated to in step 2. In our example the file's name is "nidownload_Hexagon_Highway.toc":
8. If prompted to, choose to open the file with Notepad.
9. In the menu bar of Notepad, choose Format > Word Wrap
10. Select the link between the tags <url type="http"> and </url>
11. Go to the Edit menu and select Copy in order to copy the selected link to the clipboard
12. Open a new internet browser window and paste the link into the address bar, e.g. by pressing Ctrl + C. Hit the Enter key to open the link if needed.
13. Save the .iso-file for your NI download product on your hard drive.

Personally want as little to do with them until they make it right.
Waiting for Komplete Ultimate 12 to see if they make Access work that helps instead of penalizes so many of us.

You can simplify this workaround by looking for the download folder and when you see the TOC file, you can copy/paste to save it, then at the end of the download an iso file will be created, you copy/paste to save it too.
At the end of the installation, the two files will be erased but you will keep your copies.
You need to be quick for the smaller files like razor or kontour (around 25Mb) but like you have the TOC you can download it again.
voila.

Does anyone know how to make a computer know that you have certain products installed? I.e. If you are moving things to a new computer it is obviously easier to just move over the product folders rather than download everything again, but while kontakt can see the products, komplete kontrol can't.

Aside from that, I must say, having just upgraded from KU9 to KU11, I am very impressed with the new products. Rounds, kontour and form are some excellent synths. Una corda is beautiful. India and Cuba sound great. Lots of useful drum stuff in polyplex and drumlab and action strikes. And on and on. I'm a little overwhelmed at even getting to know all this stuff just jumping my two versions!

It’s now the next year and Komplete 12 is still not here. Some predictions were way off.

Anyone know when the half price upgrade sale will be this year?

What’s are the chances of Komplete 12 being anounced soon.

If by soon you mean September, then maybe.

The current version of Kontakt came out in 2012. Massive, Battery and FM8 haven’t been updated in years. NI are getting complacent with the updates.

...I had a problem with installing Reaktor 6, but that was because I had forgot to set my preferred VST paths in the preferences.

Luckily, an uninstallation, and a computer restart, was all I needed to install it again, to my preferred VST directories.

I haven't tried to use Reaktor, but I did try Reaktor related Guitar Rig presets that were all missing something, giving me an error message that I forget the details of right now. Do the synths that use Reaktor belong somewhere special?

I do have my sound data/content on an external drive. Do Reaktor synth sounds belong somewhere special?

It seems like they still do well enough in their respective niches to sell Komplete licenses.

Massive still has a lot of legs as it remains one of the most feature complete synths ever conceived. Even if a new Massive 2.0 was created, the wavetable market is extremely crowded. I'm not sure what it would have to offer.

FM8 has little to no competition, so I'm not expecting anything anytime soon. Although at the very very least I would like to see an update for a resizable GUI (that goes for all NI GUIs). Those fonts are getting extremely hard to read.

My other two updates would be Guitar Rig 6 and Absynth. I love the functionality and layout of GR5 but trying to get a devastating metal tone .. good luck. Absynth 5 simply needs an audio engine update such as Reaktor 5->6.

But who knows .. NI these days seems to be concentrating on the Reaktor platform, Maschine and selling content.

Given that they're currently giving away Battery 4 gratis if you buy two of their expansion packs (rather than the more usual expansion packs with VST purchase deal) there does seem to be a shift in priorities.

Even Basing those packs on old synth presets is also an issue
