The main thing is that they were 3rd party Player libraries that had to be activated via serial number in the Native Access program. NI just seemed to randomly select one of those libraries and say that it "qualified" me. I have a few licensed Kontakt Player Libraries that qualified me for crossgrade offers over the years before I finally bought in to Kontakt: Sennheiser DrumMic'a (free Player version no longer available), Soniccouture Estey Reed Organ, and Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra. Maybe Embertone ran out of serial numbers. but the “invoices” were not containing the serial numbers to register with NI to confirm the eligibility criteria. I also tried to grab Embertone's Arcane to quality for the €124.00 cross-grade to Kontact 6. I'll do the same with v7 unless they offer an upgrade sale upon release. I was able to delay upgrading to v6 until the upgrade went on sale because I hadn't purchased any libraries that required v6. I don't know NI's policy on upgrades for purchases made very close to a new major version's release. When a new version of Kontakt Full is days away from release, has Native Instruments ever let one buy the current version and then let one update to the next version as part of the package? (Kind of like what Izotope does with RX and Ozone)
I am thinking, why buy 6 now (even though it's on sale at the time of this post) and then pay the upgrade price to 7, when I can just buy 7 after its release date (when it's on sale of course - BF coming up) I downloaded the Native Access Installer, clicked on the 'free download' button for Kontakt 6 Player, etc.
I do not have any projects that use any version of Kontakt. Since it looks like being released in October, I am holding off acquiring Kontakt 6 Full. I know I am probably late to the game, but I may be in a position to pull the trigger on Kontakt 7 Full
