My Systems
The UAD devices and plug-ins that you own and can authorize can be found
in your My Systems page at my.uaudio.com. My Systems keeps track of
which UAD devices are in which computer, and the authorization status of
each UAD plug-in.
My Systems is managed automatically by my.uaudio.com and the UAD soft-
ware. When “Authorize Plug-Ins” is clicked, devices in the host system are
added to My Systems. When an authorization file is downloaded, it reflects
the current state of My Systems.
System
All the UAD devices installed in a single host computer system, and the UAD
plug-in license status for those devices, is referred to as a “System” (formally
known as “Group”) on the My Systems page at my.uaudio.com. When you
click the Authorize Plug-Ins” button, UAD devices in the host computer are au-
tomatically registered and added to a System.
The UAD hardware identification numbers for each UAD device in a single
host computer are stored in the same System. Authorization files generated at
my.uaudio.com are constrained to only authorize the licensed UAD plug-ins
running on the UAD devices in the same System. The same authorization file
authorizes all the devices and plug-ins in the host computer.
If you register a UAD device that is in a second host computer using the same
my.uaudio account, a second System is automatically created at My Systems.
In accordance with the
“Plug-In License Policy” on page 55
, you can’t have
UAD devices from two separate computers in the same System. Each System
generates a unique authorization file.
Authorization
Notes
• UAD devices must be authorized to run bundled (included) plug-ins. See
“Authorization Overview” on page 48
for details.
• Without authorization, UAD plug-ins can be enabled to run for 14 days
without functional limitations in a timed demo mode (see
“Demo Mode” on
page 51
).
• Older versions of the UAD software may not include all the latest UAD
plug-ins. To ensure all UAD plug-ins are installed, and for optimum perfor-
mance, we recommend updating to the latest UAD version. See
“Check for
Updates” on page 65
.
• Optional plug-ins are contained within the UAD software installer, not the
.uad authorization file. Download and install the latest UAD software ver-
sion to ensure the optional plug-ins that you are authorizing are installed.
