How to Activate Native Instruments Software Products in Service Center

This article explains how to activate a Native Instruments software product using Service Center.

Important note: For all current NI software products, Native Access replaces Service Center.

  1. Make sure that the NI software product is already installed on your computer. This article explains how to download and install NI software products.
  2. Start Service Center from the following location on your computer:
    • OS X: Applications > Native Instruments > Service Center
    • Windows: Program Files > Native Instruments > Service Center
  3. Choose the Activate tab:
  4. Enter your Native Instrument product's serial number in the corresponding field and click the Activate button.
  5. Service Center will now display your product has been successfully activated.
The activation of Native Instruments products requires an application called Service Center. Service Center is installed by default during the installation of your first Native Instrument product (e.g. KONTAKT, MASSIVE, etc.) on your system. The offline activation procedure additionally requires a second computer with an internet connection and a USB stick. This article guides you through the steps necessary to activate a Native Instruments product on an offline computer.
