Updated over a month ago

Applies to: REV, REV X-LOOPS, SIGNAL, EXHALE, SUBSTANCE, ANALOG STRINGS, ANALOG BRASS & WINDS

In order to move one of our libraries to a new location (after you have already activated it in Native Access), first, make sure there is no DAW's open.

Mac:

  1. Quit Native Access

  2. Next, open up an instance of 'Finder' on your computer and go to the following location: Mac HD > Library > Preferences

  3. In this folder, search for the name of the instrument, such as 'EXHALE' (the full file name, in this case, should be 'com.native-instruments.EXHALE.plist').

  4. Please remove this .plist file by moving it to the trash.

  5. You will need to enter your computer's password in order to authorize this change.

  6. Re-add the Library to Kontakt.

PC:

  1. Quit Native Access

  2. Then, you'll need to manually delete the following Registry entries:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Native Instruments\*Product Name*

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Native Instruments\*Product Name*

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Native Instruments\*Product Name*

    Here's how to how to access Windows Registry in order to locate and remove the above files:

    1. Open the Run box with the keyboard combination Windows key + r.

    2. In the Run line, enter “regedit” (without quotes)

    3. Click “OK”

    4. Say “Yes” to User Account Control (Windows Vista/7/8.x/10)

  3. Now you can re-add the Library to Kontakt
