Further Support

NOTE: After upgrading, you will now be using the full version of GPO, and not a Sibelius Edition, you will need to get your support from Native Instruments:

who will support the Kontakt Player 2 and library registration.
Unfortunately Sibelius will only be able to support the use of GPO in Sibelius 5 and not in any other 3rd party application.
