I bought Kontakt 5 a while back and have been unable to download the 40Gb library for it, since I have a limit of 800 Mb a day, and even in the Internet cafe here, it will take days to download it... So I was wondering, if someone here, with a fast internet connection and a unlimited download subscription, could be willing to do it for me? I can just give my password to log into my account, and just send a 40Gb USB stick or harddrive to copy it to and send it back to me.. I am willing to pay for anyone that can do it for me...

Trygve,
Be very careful with this, you could end up giving someone a free copy of Kontact! You've just advertised to the world!!!
Why not ask Kontact Support to do this for you? There would be a charge for sure but the peace of mind would be worth it. I suspect that they must have had the same problem from other users.
Regards,
Noel

Noel Agreed. Very likely this is not allowed by Native Instruments in the first place. I also agree. The boxed version of Kontakt costs the same as the DL version. Contact Kontakt (is that a play on words?) and tell them your situation and maybe they can send you the boxed version.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thank's guys, was not thinking of that....
From what I remember when I order it, they said they no longer deliver boxed versions of Kontakt, but I will give it a try and see what they answer...

Yeah...and send me your credit card number too while you're at it. I'll be glad to do it for you and I'll take real good care of your PW and personal info.
And BTW..... the company name....it's Native Instruments.

You guy's are far to cynical. Rest assured there are folks here on the forum who are honest and ethical and more then willing to help by taking a bit of time to download the content put it on an old empty BIAB HD and send it off to the OP. Nothing sinister in mind.

Trygve, if you don't get an answer from NI then send me an email. I have Kontakt 5 and could copy the library and send it to you.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I have a feeling that if you explain your situation they will accommodate you in any way they can, possibly burning it to DVDs or sending you a 64gb flash drive. Businesses want to make sales. It would be a bad move if they would pass on a sale because nobody there will put 10 minutes effort into helping a customer.
They may need customer support lessons from PG Music. These guys go MANY extra miles for us.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

Trygve--had you been in the US I would do it for you in a heartbeat. I've always known you to be an honest person and look to help where I can.
It seems unlikely to me that someone would go to the lengths of belonging to this forum for YEARS, posting almost 4.000 posts to come to this point of finally being able to implement his masterplan. LOL
Here's to hoping the company will do what they can to accommodate you.
If they don't, shoot me a PM.
Best of luck!

Nothing sinister in mind. I guess you can call us cynical. OP has his location as the Philippines. NI has customers around the world and should generally have the means to send boxed versions pretty much anywhere, easier than forum members. I have had mostly pleasant interactions with music software companies large and small. My optimism is that NI will do right by Trygve, not requiring any forum members to break any laws which is what they would likely be doing should physical copies of software were sent where only one of the parties has a license to use the software.

Finely, I got an answer from Native Instrument; "thank you for contacting Native Instruments. Please note that usually download sales are final and can not be returned - see terms & conditions § 5: http://www.native-instruments.com/en/company/legal-information/terms-and-conditions/terms-and-conditions-gmbh/In your case, we could nonetheless make an exception based on goodwill. Please confirm the address below. We are going to send you the box version to your shipping address." Great company ! Thank's a lot to the ones of u that sent me a PM and offer to help me out. U know who u r....

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.
