I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Full Kontakt has a very sophisticated scripting system that I'm looking forward to understanding. I just bought mine through the BF deal as well.

Don't forget to look into the possibility of a cross-grade price for yourself before you do bite on it there Bob.

What do you mean cross grade. What would I cross grade?

Hi Bob - sorry for the late delay, but now that you've purchased it, I think you'll enjoy it.
 
There are updates for it as well so when you run the Service Center, make sure you grab those.
 
Some newer libraries require those updates.

Thanks all for your help. I bought it and am downloading. So far a little over 12 gig of the 23 gig only took 45 minutes so not bad.

With the full version of Kontakt, you are entering a whole new world of high-end libraries.
 
You can blame the guys in this thread when you have to file for bankruptcy and the wife/girlfriend leaves you.  (Notice I kept silent).

Yup - I got that last year too. Get the update for that as well, while you run the Service Center.

Yes, you're definitely in the club now Bob.
 
...when you have to file for bankruptcy and the wife/girlfriend leaves you...
 
Don't be surprised if the bankruptcy folks actually celebrate and throw you a party not if but when the 'wife/girlfriend' leaves you.
 
Then you'll be in another club altogether. Some might say a better, happier, more peaceful club even.
 
Just sayin'...

I think that is one of the normal included products with Kontakt 5 full.
See web page here that shows what is included:

BTW, Bob, I didn't mean to imply that all of the quality libraries are expensive.  There are several that are free or dirt cheap.
 
Some of the vendors that come to mind are Wavesfactory, Bolder Sounds, and Indiginus.  Check 'em out when you get a chance (And, of course, do your own searching - dozens of gems to be found out there).
