No A pre-activated Kontakt 8 is the commercial sample engine itself, built by audio DSP specialists, and making it work standalone requires defeating proprietary licensing.
What it would actually take: The underlying product is a large native audio engine with sample streaming, DSP, and a plugin host, built by specialist teams over years. Making it run as a standalone pre-activated copy would require reverse-engineering the native licensing protection, which is a specialist and legally problematic task.
