Activate serial number with Native Access
Once a sound library is installed, it must be activated and linked to Kontakt within Native Access. All you need to do is enter the Serial Number provided by Sample Logic and then select the folder you installed the library. Once done, you’ll be able to launch Kontakt and use your Sample Logic instrument. Please note that the Serial Number for Native Access is different than the Continuata Connect code. It is five sets of five digits (12345-12345-12345-12345).
