UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 48 - Chapter 4: My.uaudio.com
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 Over
view” 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.
