Big Crash...Kontakt installation

So..my computer totally crashed and had to reinstall everything
Im trying to re install Komplete..they now have this Native Access deal
When I click on "add library" in Kontakt 5, the new version takes me to Native Access
When clicking on "install" it downloads the complete program with the library data..maybe 3 gig or so which takes 
forever...I have the Kontakt library files on another hard drive and could use them
Does anyone know of a way to "add library" without having to go through this long process/Thanks for any help:)

    Unfortunately, Gustabo is right.
    Just another subtle and slow migration away from individual user control and ownership.
    Will be the coin of the realm not too far up ahead.
    Everything will be on a cloud sanction. They go down or you piss them off, you lose everything. NI support is great however and expected them to be around for some time.
    Somewhat disturbing "evolution" of NI stuff. Now you MUST be connected to the internet to get a virtual upgrade. By new and improved life in the fast lane design, you got nothing as a backup.

    Something you can try if you are not thru the crisis yet.
    Uninstall just the latest Kontakt and install the older version from your installation discs.
    The old version should pick up the libraries in the normal offline way.
    Update to the the version of Kontakt and the libraries should be there

    We were discussing this a few weeks ago (when the latest Kontakt update was released).
     
    If you're new to Kontakt... and starting from square one (nothing installed), Native Access makes is easy.
    If you just want to move/migrate a library, what used to take just a couple of minutes (Add Library Button) can now take *hours* (to re-download/install).
     
    Major step backward!
