If there is “NativeAccess.xml” , check its size.
If your file size is smaller, copy and replace it with the .xml file from the distribution.

Note:
Adding libraries is done using “Add Library.exe” .
R2R NFO
The witch says,
Our keygen supports KONTAKT and KONTAKT PLAYER.
If you use it only to play libraries,
you can activate the player version. Sometimes less is more!
Fixed only public RSA key. Works as is.
Works like original version. For those who prefer stability.
Since this works like the original version,
we do not guarantee compatibility with unsuitable, modified or corrupted libraries.
There’isnt no such a file called “Kontakt_Keygen.exe”, so I can’t complete the procedure.
The keygen file does exist, but it’s flagged as malware so the AV may just delete it silently.
AddLibrary.rar had 22 trojan detections on Virustotal.
I’m new to downloading from this site but figured a link posted by “Admin” would be legit. And it could be fine, but some of the .exe behavior seemed a little odd and could be over my head with how much researching I’d need to to feel comfortable, and this particular plugin doesn’t seem worth the trouble.
Feel free to let me know that the files are safe for you and I’m a n00b.
R2R is a trusted and safe source for a long time. In addition, all sources on our site have been tested by many people in various trusted forums that will not allow malicious malware.
But if you are still not sure about this link, you can skip it.
All the libraries are showing “activate” even after replacing Nativeaccess.xml
Is there something i’m missing? Please help.
This Version is no good. All libraries DEMO and won’t activate. Add library won’t activate either.
did you find any solutions ?
Libraries are in demo version. Kontakt asks for native access. Any Idea how to fix?
You have to use the “Add Library.exe” to activate your instrument.
