UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 42 - Chapter 4: My.uaudio.com
Bundled Plug-Ins UAD plug-ins that are bundled with the UAD card are automatically licensed
when the card is registered. This includes the “Mix Essentials” (plug-ins that
come with all cards) as well as bundled optional plug-ins. After registration,
the authorization file must be loaded.
Note: UAD cards must be authorized to run bundled (included) plug-ins. See
“Authorization Overview” on page 42 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
card by clicking the “Authorize Plug-ins button...” 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.
Coupons are a great reason to subscribe to promotional announcements.
Email subscription preferences are specified on your “My Profile” page at
my.uaudio.com (see “My Profile” on page 47).
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 58.
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.
