Bundling products together is fairly common especially in the music software world, but as NI has grown it has been able to offer arguably better value for money with each new release of Komplete, as its product lineup has invariably grown since the last version. There came a point several years ago when NI's stable of instruments and effects became so varied and diverse that the Berlin-based developer decided to start offering them all as a single bundle and called it Komplete. That's just an observation/guess I haven't tried it, so I don't know if this could end up tripping you up when Service Center goes to activate/register the product.įor example, if you ran the individual installer for "The Mouth", is it still recognized under the K10U license key, or will SC try to activate it as a separate product? This I do not know, but I'll post my results here if I ever have cause to find out.Coming Soon on : Focused reviews for the new individual instruments in Komplete 10, like Polyplex, Kontour, Rounds and the Definitive Piano Collection. If the "global installer" confuses you to hell and back, then you might be able to just run the individual installer for any product you want to add.
But at least I understand it better now.Īlso.the media hard drive does contain individual installers for each product. This is very messy logic in my opinion, because the behavior of the installer is NOT consistent across the board. So be VERY careful about running the installer and setting all products to "unavailable" you could get a very unpleasant surprise!īut if you make them all "unavailable" then make some other product "available", then all the ones you set to unavailable won't be uninstalled and instead the newly "available" one will be installed. If you de-select everything (make them "unavailable"), and the installer recognizes that those products are not of a more recent version, then it will uninstall everything including those products that were not checked (installed at an earlier invocation of the installer). When you start the installer, all those items that you last installed will be indicated as "available". After making observations when installing K10U on my workstation and Windows laptop, I have learned something about the installer's behavior when you run it from the shipped media hard drive, and it jives with something that happened to me a year ago on my laptop (I just didn't realize it back then).
