Authorization
Your UAD card must be registered at my.uaudio.com to download an autho-
rization file, and you need a my.uaudio.com account to register the card. As
of UAD v5.0, these procedures are significantly simplified, and are detailed
in the“Authorize Plug-Ins Procedure” on page 27.
Important: 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. The procedure is in the next section.
