  1) As you have also Komplete 9, you have licence for Kontakt 5 and 6, Reaktor 5 and 6 and Guitar Rig 5 and 6.

  If you do not need older versions, you may uninstall them. On Win using Windows Add/Remove Program. On Mac it is a bit more work.

  Thank you Kubrak for your informative reply.

  I am new to using Native Access so there are parts of this install operation that I did not understand. My studio computer is normally "off-line", and I did not understand that Native Access must be on-line to work at all (with my studio computer off-line, I was unable to get to the Native Access Preferences menu to check on the installation locations). I bought the boxed version of Komplete 13 because my own internet access is slow. So I needed to be online anyways because I needed Native Access to do the installation even tho' I was installing the boxed version of Komplete 13. Consequently, after clicking on Install All, Native Access installed these older versions of the software, along with the newer versions. I did not understand this when I started.

  Can you or anyone answer my question about loading a Kontact instrument "library"?

  Thanks again.

  Hey @JamPro, I have to say I also wonder what the 'Electricity' library is. Could you post a screenshot so we could have a better view of the issue?

  Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.

  Here is a screenshot of my Naive Access:

  

  If anyone can tell me what I need to do to get the Electricity instrument working - i.e. how do I "add library" - I appreciate it. Thanks

  This is a 3rd party library, so you'll just have to follow these steps to make it work:

  Thank you Nico for your helpful reply. I will try your suggestion and report back on my progress.

  I'm interested in what you say about a 3rd party library. At the time I installed Komplete 13, the Kontact instrument Scarabee Funk Guitar (for which I had earlier bought a license) was also installed. I assumed Scarabee Funk Guitar was also a 3rd party library, so I was surprised that it was installed at the same time as Komplete 13.

  Scarbee Funk is not a 3rd party, it's a NI product 👍
