It depends Djoni. Often third party instruments and libraries require authorization. Others don't.

If it comes with a serial number it most likely needs Service Center to authorize it.  

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.

Hi Glyn,


That is exactly what is happening to me. 15 minutes and they time out.
I meant Komplete 9 (I have re-edited my post), sorry for the confusion.

> Kontakt 5 will not run on your Komplete 5 license. This could be why Kontakt 5 is running in player mode. 


This might be the problem. So do I have to buy a separate license for Kontakt5 ? 

If you have Komplete 9 you will be entitled to run Kontakt 5 full version, its part of the package. My comments were based on the error in your initial post when you said Komplete 5.
 
As you say that your own samples time out I think we can discount any issue with third party libraries needing to be authorized. I think its a "simple" matter of Kontakt running in "Player" mode. As long as you are sure Kontakt is licensed in Service Centre Bitflipper's suggestion that Sonar is pointing at the wrong DLL is something to check.
 
If it all works OK in stand alone it will support that theory.

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.
