OT: Anyone using Kontakt in Sonar?

I have Kontakt in the K-6 collection. 

I have not had any problem using kontakt in Sonar X1e   or any of the MC series DAW's..... 

I have purchased a limited number of third party sounds, and they all work fine. None of the ones I bought are stand alone apps, they all need Kontakt to work, which tells me they are simply sound/sample libraries designed with a GUI that only runs in kontakt..... 

I would think that any sample libraries would not need authorization to work because I do not remember having to authorize the ones I have.  The biggest problem was getting them so that I could use them in K6.... once I had them in the K6 library tree, they run fine. 

Something that runs in demo mode sounds like it needs to be authorized officially. Either Kontakt or the third party add-on.

Have you poked around the NI forums for the answer to this? 

The paid for Kontakt libraries will run in the player, as will the free content bundled with the player, but third party content will and your own samples will time out after 15 mins.  
But IIRC Komplete 5 did not include Kontakt 5, I think that was introduced in Komplete 7 or 8. Kontakt 5 will not run on your Komplete 5 license. This could be why Kontakt 5 is running in player mode.
 
Edit - one other thought, in case I am mistaken in what I have written above, what happens when you run Kontakt as a stand alone.

Hi,

After buying Komplete 5 and am using Kontakt5 a lot, but I am experiencing a very annoying problem:
All NI libraries are authorized and work fine. But all others are not: paid ones and the ones that I create with my own samples. Once loaded, Kontakt5 assumes thay are demos. And demo mode lets you use them for 15 minutes and then there is not more sound.
Anyone knows if there is a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
joni

There are a few things in your description that are a bit unclear..

First of all; I'm guessing you mean Komplete 9 and not Komplete 5?
..Since you got Kontakt 3 with Komplete 5 and this version of Komplete isn't available any more.

With "NI Libraries", do you mean only the ones that come with Komplete? Like "Factory Library", "Upright Piano" ect? 
Or do you mean all libraries released by NI but isn't necessarily included in Komplete?
(In other words; that you have to activate seperately in Service Center)

I really don't get what you mean when you say that you can't use libraries that you've created yourself with your own samples.
Creating your own libraries isn't possible. NI libraries are restricted to "official" libraries..
You can create patches for Kontakt, yes.. But not libraries.

My guess (about Kontakt's demo-confusion) would be that you haven't activated the libraries in Service Center.
Once you've done this NI should have no problems knowing what libraries you own.

Hi bitflipper,
That is a possibility. I have to check that and maybe uninstall all the previous versions too.
Thank you for the hint.
take care,

Sounds like you're running the Kontakt Free Player rather than the full Kontakt (Kontakt 5.dll).

Hi Laptech,


Yes, I meant Komplete 9.


I meant the libraries that came with Komplete 9.

Sorry, I meant patches.

I though Service Center was exclusively for NI libraries. Will I need to authorize 3rd party stuff from the Service Center?


Thanks

Im gonna say yes you will, because on my kontakt I have plugs from big fish audio and vir.2 and Others like that, and they all required authorization on service center. The only time I've ever experienced the demo issue is if i was messing with a library that hadn't been authorized, or if I was trying to load instruments designed for full version when I was still using kontakt player. I'm sure it's one or the other.

I too started with NI with their free Kore player. When I bought the K-6 collection I removed the free Kore player since it was redundant and was not as fully operational as Kontakt. 

It might still be in my laptop but it is not in the studio DAW.

I feel so stupid. Kontakt was not registered. Everything working fine now.
Thanks everyone.

Just one  of those things. The authorization processes can be quite complex at time. Thanks for coming back an telling us what was wrong and not leaving the thread hanging.
