There are a few simple steps to follow when moving your library to a new computer or a new hard drive. Be sure before performing any actions that any instances of your DAW and/or Kontakt are closed.
Note! If you're wanting to keep your library on one computer and use your second license on a new machine, simply follow the download, register and setup steps we've laid out in those articles.
Relocating your library in Pulse
When moving your library to a new computer or hard drive, first ensure that you have told the Pulse app where the library is now located.
As a first step, if you haven't done so already, move your library to its new location.
Open Pulse, and find your library. Next to the name of the library, click the three grey dots to see more options, and choose Re-locate from the menu. You'll then be prompted to find and select the new folder location for your library.
Relocating in Native Access
If you are moving one of our Kontakt PLAYER libraries, you will also need to use the locate function within Native Access.
Open Native Access and find your library listed within the Library tab on the left. Native Access might detect there is an issue and, if so, will display a Repair option automatically:
If you don't see the Repair option, just click the three grey dots to the right and choose Relocate.
Depending which option you choose, you will see a dialog box that appears with the option to browse for your library's new folder locate.
Be sure to select the library's parent folder and not one of the subfolders within. Select this folder and click Done. You're now ready to open your library within Kontakt again from your new computer or hard drive!
