From the email they sent out:

 

"our entire store catalogue will officially be discontinued and no longer available"

[Amicus717 297]

On the site it says something quite different: "Once this clearance sale ends, all these sale products will officially be discontinued and no longer available"

Once these libraries are discontinued, their download links will no longer be available so PLEASE make a backup after you download.

"making room for the future"... lol, didn't know their site was so crowded! 😂

Somehow, spending hundreds of dollars on discontinued products doesn't have any appeal to me.

Software and virtual instruments, like games, songs, books, movies and any media really, are always at risk of becoming discontinued and unavailable.  At least they are telling people in advance and giving you a chance to get them.  Though I think they could be a lot more specific about their plans.

Can't remember which string library it was that I was looking at a while ago, but it said something along the lines of needs Kontakt 5.7.1; not compatible with Kontakt 5.7.3. (I forget the exact version numbers, but it implied that for that library, a newer version of Kontakt 5 wouldn't work properly)

I've read where KH stuff doesn't work well with K6.  

[Matthew Sorrels 1,417]

Any of the Kirk Hunter TVEC 2 instruments won't work on Kontakt 6.

That’s a shame as some of them are actually really good.

I went looking and couldn't find any TVEC2 instruments in my KH Diamond.  I have a bunch of TVEC1 and TVEC3 and TVEC4 but I couldn't actually find a TVEC2 instruments.  I'm not sure this compatibility problem is that big a deal.  The TVEC1,3,4 instruments seemed to work, though the details of the scripting could mean it looks fine but little things don't work right.

Even with 80% off I don't think this closeout sale is all that great a deal really.  The two instruments not on sale are (of course) the most interesting, and also very overpriced.
