3.0 out of 5 stars Installation is a huge problem, July 3, 2009

By	David Bennett (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Before you buy any Native Instruments product, I highly recommend you read up a little on Native Instruments Service Center. You need to understand how many people have enormous difficulties getting this program to run, and that you cannot activate a Native Instruments product unless you can get it to run. I have installed music software from scores of companies for many years, and the problems with Native Instruments installation are very hard to believe until you've been through them. I've just made the mistake of buying Absynth 4, and I think I basically just flushed money down the drain, since you can't return software, and I can't get it activated.

I've been through this before with NI products, but it's been a while and I forgot, and I was stupid. I'll definitely never buy another NI product again--although they are all wonderful once you get them running. This issue with installation is intolerable--of course, many users get it going with no problem, but I'm telling you, the percentage of users who have a huge wrestling match with activating the products is VERY high with NI, and if you're one of the unlucky ones, you will want to kill someone. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unless things change I will never buy another Native Instrument product again, March 5, 2008

By	Christian Baptiste (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The product itself is great, too bad that their registration sucks and the Customer Service is even worse. Since I purchased the upgrade to GR3 the stupid register screen comes up almost every time I open the software. When I use it in Sonar, not only does the stupid registration screen come up, it will lock me out of Sonar because there is no way to close the the reg screen.

I keep getting the same canned emails telling me to turn off anti virus (that I don't have) and reinstall, and clean out my registry.

A COMPANY SHOULD NEVER PUT THE CUSTOMER THROUGH THIS MUCH HELL TO USE SOFTWARE THAT THEY HAVE PAID FOR>>>>> Securing their software from thieves should never come at the expense of their customers.

God help you if you have to be put on hold - their hold music is enough to want to pull your eye ball out, and their CS staff is less than helpful. Why don't they walk their customers through the issue rather than telling the customer, I will send you another email to fix the problem. You already did that you dumb as*. It didn't work.

DONT BUY NATIVE INSTRUMENT PRODUCTS UNLESS THEY LOOSE THIS CRAPY REGISTRATION. It is really too bad because the product (when not being bothered with the registration) is really great. The product itself I would recommend to anyone.

FRUSTRATED AND PISSED OFF!
