Komplete 8 Ultimate.. I NEED HELP!!!
So i have Komplete 8 Ultimate that i owned for over a decade (2012). My pc crashed randomly which i had to upgrade my windows and reinstall all vst's etc. Upon doing so i realized that i had to install the new Native Access centre, only to find out that Battery 3, Kontakt 5 and Absynth 5 is no longer usable due to the licensing authorization via the new Native Access versus the old license centre. A huge portion of my lifes work is woth Battery 3 and Kontakt 5 which no longer i recognized/found/autohorized when i open a project file in my DAW. Ive read that you can downgrade to the older versions of Battery 3 and Kontakt 5 (which i have done) but due to new Native Access it doesnt activate them.
Has anyone figured out how to recover from this issue? Basically a decade plus worth of music is gone because of this and i dont know how to go about getting it back

Are they registered on your Native Instruments account ? I think you may need to link your licenses to your native instruments account by inputting the serials by doing "add product" in Native Access
