Load Authorization File
Offline Authorization
If the UAD computer is not connected to the internet, you will need to manually
transfer the registration URL into the browser of a web-enabled computer.
To download and apply the UAD authorization file if not 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 default web browser
opens with the registration URL in the address bar (and you may get an er-
ror that the computer is not connected to the internet).
4. You must enter this URL into a web-connected computer, so either:
a) Drag the URL icon to the Desktop to create a weblink shortcut then trans-
fer the weblink shortcut to the internet computer (preferred, Figure 4), OR
b) Carefully write down the URL, EXACTLY as it appears.
5. Go to the URL using a web browser on an internet-connected computer.
Double-click the transferred weblink shortcut, or enter the URL as noted.
•If you don’t already have a my.uaudio.com account, you are directed to
create one. Follow the instructions online.
