Online
Authorization
To download and apply the UAD authorization file when connected to the internet:
1. Install UAD v5.0 (or higher) software and the UAD hardware using the pro-
cedures detailed in this chapter (the system must be operating properly).
2. Launch the UAD Meter & Control Panel application (see page 55) and
open the Plug-Ins panel (see page 57).
3. Click the “Authorize Plug-ins...” button (page 61). The my.uaudio.com on-
line store opens in the default web browser.
• If you don’t already have a my.uaudio.com account, you are directed to cre-
ate one. Follow the instructions online.
• If you already have a my.uaudio.com account, login with your email ad-
dress and password. If your password is lost, the store can email it to you.
4. Your card will be automatically registered and added to your “My Systems”
Computer group, and your authorization file is generated.
5. The authorization file should begin downloading automatically. Click the
“Download Authorization” link to download the auth file if not. The autho-
rization file is downloaded by the browser to the location specified in the
browser preferences.
6. “Drag and drop” the authorization file onto any UAD Meter & Control
Panel application icon/shortcut/alias. Drag and drop means click then
hold the downloaded authorization file with the mouse, drag it on top of
any UAD Meter & Control Panel application icon until the icon is high-
lighted, then release the mouse (see Figure 3 on page 29).
7. The authorization is loaded onto the UAD card(s) and after a few seconds
the “Authorizations Updated Successfully” window appears (Figure 3).
Online UAD authorization is now complete, and UAD Powered Plug-Ins are ready for use.
