KONTAKT 5.8.1 - 2018-06-20

FIXED Some older Kontakt Player libraries (like East West RA) would stay in Demo mode even when properly authenticated
FIXED Group MIDI input channel settings are now recalled correctly after saving and reloading an NKI
FIXED Kontakt would crash when trying to set the Sample Subdirectory on the Save As dialog
FIXED In some cases (e.g. with Top Shelf Drums by 3 Sigma Audio), the instrument GUI would be corrupt when using multiple instances of the same NKI
FIXED Kontakt would crash when trying to multi-select groups with Shift+Click
