Yep old news. I don't know of any developers that have not updated to work with Sierra. There may be a few. FxPansion BFD3 installers still need a work around. But the software works no issues.

OK, I think that's enough for me. I'll do a time machine backup, and a Carbon Copy Cloner, well, clone, and I'll go for it.

Thanks Mike that helped. I had just gotten the notice that Komplete had an update. But Native Access did not show it. Went to my products page on the site and direct download was an option. Worked great. I don't think this is a Sierra issue. Seems to be NI installer issue. Fxpansion has work arounds for installers also. Are the installers written by the companies or purchased? Seems the installers are similar from company to company. Anyway all is working well and downloaded the Native Instruments update.

There are a couple of common installers on Windows that most people use or wrap.

On the Mac, it gets a bit trickier, based on whether the product was developed using Xcode or not. There are toolkits that many people use, but they tend to need some customization, so there is typically less universality of experience than on Windows.
