There is another thread where this issue is discussed at length

 

I have a different issue. I don't have problems with legacy products.

Does anyone else have their products (ones that have been subscription products previously) showing up as "CANCELLED"? 

I've contacted the support but they seem to be completely clueless claiming it's a cosmetic issue while it's clearly not.

Finally. Subscription products you don't have anymore aren't listed in the Library.

Looks like they managed to do this wrong. I just noticed that some of the subscription products you own now (Raum, Supercharger GT, Hybrid Keys...) are marked as "CANCELLED" and there's nothing you can do to activate them.

(I didn't have any other problems with this version.)

Improved the way Native Access determines products as a subscription vs. perpetual

Finally. Subscription products you don't have anymore aren't listed in the Library.

I'm guessing they'll be releasing a new version of this (which requires full Kontakt) soon like they did with Gamelan for example.

You can get Joshua Bell Violin for $84.15.

Strange, they don't call it Musio 1 anymore but it's seems like that's what they're selling (you still have to upgrade later if you want the newest libraries).

Still, it's an amazing deal.

Fables and Sequis also got very small updates.

...You apparently need 57 GB of disk space to install one Fables bug fix.

They've sent 50% off codes.

A taste of Lineage Percussion, our brand-new orchestral percussion library.
Masterfully dynamic.
Exquisitely detailed.
This free preset packs a series of percussion hits. While this is a very small selection of the instruments and articulations found in Lineage Percussion, each key does have full sampling depth, as well as real-time microphone positioning using the center virtual stage. Enjoy!

The Free Orchestra 2 version 2.6.0 update is available in Native Access.

The only other Kontakt Player freebie pipe organ I'm aware of is the Sonuscore one and that's very low detail, borderline lofi.

There's a great pipe organ in ProjectSAM's The Free Orchestra 1.

Obviously not in Kontakt, but LABS has free one too.

It's 1% no matter what I play. Even with the hold pedal on.

I get 1% usage if I hit 10+ keys using that preset.

I noticed that idle usage was high when I had Pigments open in several tabs in Reaper. Not sure if it was Pigments causing it or something else though.
