Can NI Kontakt libraries be downloaded in one computer and transfered to another?

The answer is YES.
You can just copy the library folder to another computer manually, no need to redownload. You will have to authorize the library by adding a serial number and path to the library via Native Access, though.

All right, but where is the authorize option? I can see already in Native Access all of my software and libraries (already entered serial numbers time ago), but how do I tell it that they are somewhere? I hope I'm explaining it okEvilDragon wrote:The answer is YES.

When you add the library in Kontakt it'll contact (pun kinda intended) the authorization server (basically just launch Native Access) to check that you do indeed have the rights to use that library, if you don't it'll pop up a serial request dialog box to add that particular Kontakt library to your Native Instruments account.
I had to do this exact thing with the latest Thrill library as it kept thinking I didn't have enough hard disk space (which I didn't on the internal drive but wanted it stored on the external one)
