Fwrend Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) I like Kirk’s libraries but this last reply leaves me wondering? i emailed him because after loading up a new PC, the most recent Kontakt would not authorize Virtuoso Ensembles telling me the .ncti file couldn’t be found. On my phone so the extension is off the top of my head. However the file is there but won’t activate the Library and the file tab won’t load it because it has an associated Library. Here is Kirk’s response: ”As far as the activation, I would love to help you, but this looks to be an issue with Native Instruments…. Which is why we no longer create libraries needing their authorization.” Huh? Anybody have similar issue? Edited March 20, 2023 by Fwrend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artturner Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I was hoping for more of a loyalty discount...strings plus was only $50 after discount, this is $74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Sorry for the thread highjack, but I was intrigued to know if new Hunter libraries still offered Library activation or not per Kirk's remarks. I've emailed (in a very convoluted process!) Native Instruments. Since this is a new PC, there is nothing to delete in the registry per some of the videos I've seen on removing Kontakt Libraries. But that doesn't keep Native Access from showing the library and won't let me "Locate" the library as normal nor remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NA version 3.20 Kontakt version 5.8.1 Trying the Locate function gives me this: The NI fix is to make sure the aforementioned file is present which it is: Clicking on the three dots in the upper right only shows Release Notes and Installation Paths which when clicked shows no path where other NI & third party libs do: Edited March 21, 2023 by Fwrend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 @Fwrend if you need a fresh install, email Kirk at support@kirkhunterstudios.com and I'm certain he'll provide a download link for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the latest Kirk Hunter Kinetic Strings and it was a direct download plus an activation file only. Native Access not involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 @Fwrend Did you rename the library folder by any chance? I'm still using Native Access 1, but adding libraries can fail if the folder name isn't as it expects it to be. Typically the folder name is the same as the product name (which seems to be the case from your screenshots), but it can sometimes be different, e.g. using underscores instead of spaces; or having the developer's name in the folder.

Fwrend Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 @antler possible, but I don’t think so. Problem is it doesn’t site the path it is expecting. That does make me think of another possibility though. I’ll try later this evening. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fwrend Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Update: I heard back from an email to NI who mentioned being concerned about there being two .nicnt files as in the pic above. I checked with other library instrument folders and noticed which file was the correct one then deleted the extra from the Kirk Hunter folder. Voila'! It now works. Thanks all for the sounding board and input! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all for the sounding board and input! Ah... I didn't think those would count. As far as I know, those files that begin ._ are Mac metadata files. Not being a Mac user, I usually do a find for them and delete them all. Off the top of my head, I think the other common Mac files are .ds_store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
