How to make Kontakt player 5 work with Logic Pro X ?

I tried adding a library but it keeps showing desired file couldnt be loaded ! Is it something to do with 64 bit or 32 bit may be ? Someone knows how to get me out of it and successfully use kontakt libraries here in PRO X ?

Logic Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Hello Not exactly the same problem but definitely same results. Changed computers. Logic Pro to no longer work with Kontakt. I finally trashed everything Native Instruments and did a complete re-install (Komplete 8 Ultimate HD—all of them). Problem:, Kontakt 5 IS NOT recognized by Logic Pro X ("filetype not recognized"). I have spent 3 days chasing a solution. Downloaded Kontakt 5 update (website). Verified active status (Native Access). Only Absynthe is working. Any help would be appreciated. ( OSX 10.12.5, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3). Thanks. R.User uploaded file

No problems with Kontakt 5.3.0 here.. All works as normal with LPX. Both the Player and the Full versions of K5 are available as a 64bit AU plugin so no issues with that and LPX


So...


Make sure you are using the latest version of the K5 Player... thiough the fact you can access it within LPX tells me that's not the problem


Therefore note:


Not all libraries will work with the Player version however but that is by design...


Also not all libraries can be loaded in as a Library to the Library list but instead must be loaded via the K5 file manager...


So, what libraries are you trying to use with the Player version of K5?


What is the exact error msg you are getting when to attempt to add a library to K5

Either it shows "Could not find the desired file" when i try adding a library !


and when i load it via file manager, it shows "This patch is encrypted and cannot be loaded unless the respective Library is registered properly" or it would sometimes say this -


ERROR: could not read encrypted sample (library not registered?)



01_OC_IE_KIT_Kick.ncw



Continue loading?



😟

Okay.. so the first error means it isn't the type of library that can be added to the library list...



...and the second error means you haven't registered the library via the NI Service Center application in which case run the Service Center Application found in Applications and register it using the code that was provided with the library...


or


It is a library that cannot be used with the K5 player but needs Kontakt Full instead...


So again, what libraries are you trying to use with the K5 Player?

All the libraries i had taken from a couple of my friends, they are working flawlessly in their Logic Pro 9 with the kontakt player but i dont know what the heck is the problem when i run the same libraries in my X with Kontakt showing the errors i told u above ! Be it LA Strings or Abbey or Damage or whatever !

Only library it shows loaded is the factory defualt presets that came with it when i downloaded it.

All those libraries, with the exception of the default one that came with the free version of Kontakt Player.. are ones that need activatation..


You cannot simply use them with your Kontakt Player without paying for them yourself.. as that is illegal use and those would then be illegal versions on your Mac.


If you want to use them you will have to go buy them yourself... without paying for them.. and asking here, in a forum such as this one... how to use copied/illegal software/libraries, is really dumb don't you think?
