New Kontakt 5.8 update loads much faster under Reaper.
Just a heads up...the new Kontakt 5.8 loads both itself and heavy duty plugins much faster than before, at least on my old Win10 system. Well worth the 180mb download. I'm using the full version, but I assume the free one will show similar results.

Kontakt 5.8 requires macOS 10.11, BTW.

Great. I can't update Kontakt and haven't been able to for the past year or so. I bought Replika xt and I couldn't install it because native access would bsod my system during installation. After some back and forth with NI I was sent an ISO of Replika and all went well with the installation. There appears to be some windows 7 "compatibility issues with native access at this point.
I still have service center on my system but unfortunately that is basically abandoned. I'm basically screwed until I build my new system within the next year. I'm not sweating it I'll continue to make music.

That's unfortunate to hear. NA works just fine on my 7 years old W7 laptop...

I was a big NI fan, but for some versions ago updates of KONTAKT ond other plug is a pestilence. After Update to 5.7, KONTAKT sah my old Elektrik Piano Libs as a Demo, and other third party libs couldnt be loaded for "not activ". But these libs couldnt be activated via NI Access. So i had to downgrade to 5.65. This info I found here in Reaper forum, not on NI Forum.
Thank you EvilDragon
Phasis and Supercharger cant be updated via NI Access, download is ok, but update install fails, for what reason? I dont know.
You are no more able to download installers as a whole. Downgrade to Kontakt 5.65 was a bit tricky, and cost my a lot of time.
I dont update any NI plug anymore.

Well to be honest your computer chops and Native Instruments savvy is far superior to mine. I'm sure I could get it going with enough time and hair pulling but my system is getting long in the tooth and I'll be starting from scratch with Windows 10 and a clean install of NA. It's not a huge deal right now as most of my stuff works just fine. I'm a little bit annoyed at NI bailing on battery 3 but I guess everything runs its course.

Beware, I'am on Mac OS X 11.6 and I can't find any update.
I looked at the NI Website and the last downloadable version of Kontakt is 5.66 (for both win and mac).
So, I'am a little confused, I have to admit..

5.6.6 is the last Kontakt version available via the download area. Newer and future updates are only distributed via Native Access.

Ok, thanks!
I have a some years old version of 'Complete 8'. Does 'Native Access' work with that? And can I trash the 'Service Center' than?

NA should recognize most of stuff from K8, but do leave SC just in case. They can coexist.

(grin) That is entirely MY fault! Years ago I won my choice of NI products up to a value of $xxx & I chose B4 MkII and Battery 3. Within months B4 was discontinued and of course Battery 3 not long after! Sorry.....
P,S, But Battery 3 and B4II still work OK on my win10 systems. Just not in 64bit.
