Bundled Plug-Ins
UAD plug-ins that are bundled with the UAD device are automatically li-
censed when the device is registered. After registration, the
Authorization File
must be loaded.
Note:
UAD devices must be authorized to run bundled (included) plug-ins.
See
“Authorization Overview” on page 48
for details.
Vouchers
Vouchers included in UAD retail packages have dollar values that are as
“good as cash” for buying UAD plug-ins at my.uaudio.com. Vouchers are ap-
plied to your my.uaudio.com account automatically when you register your
device by clicking the
Authorize Plug-ins button
. After registration, the
voucher dollar amount is in your account as a credit, ready to be applied to
your store purchase.
Coupons
Like vouchers, coupons are as “good as cash” and are redeemed for UAD
plug-ins at my.uaudio.com. Unlike vouchers however, coupons expire after a
limited time period. Coupons are used for promotional offers only; they are
not included in retail packages. Coupons can be used only once.
Tip:
Coupons are a great reason to subscribe to promotional announce-
ments. Email subscription preferences are specified on your “My Profile”
page at my.uaudio.com (see
“My Profile” on page 53
).
Plug-Ins are
already installed
The UAD software installer always installs the complete suite of available
UAD plug-ins to the hard drive during installation. Therefore when you pur-
chase an optional license, you don’t download that individual plug-in. In-
stead, you download a newer authorization file, which enables the plug-in
file that is already installed.
Important:
Older versions of the UAD software may not include all the lat-
est UAD plug-ins. To ensure all UAD plug-ins are installed, and for optimum
performance, we recommend updating to the latest UAD version. See
“Check
for Updates” on page 65
.
Authorization Overview
All UAD plug-ins must be authorized before they can be used. Authorization
is accomplished by clicking the
Authorize Plug-ins button
in the UAD Meter &
Control Panel, then loading the downloaded authorization file.
