UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 44 - Chapter 4: My.uaudio.com
My Systems The UAD cards and plug-ins that you own and can authorize can be found in
your My Systems page at my.uaudio.com. My Systems keeps track of which
UAD cards are in which computer, and the authorization status of each UAD
plug-in.
My Systems is managed automatically by my.uaudio.com and the UAD soft-
ware. When “Authorize Plug-Ins...” is clicked, cards in the host system are
added to My Systems. When an authorization file is downloaded, it reflects
the current state of My Systems.
System All the UAD cards installed in a single host computer system, and the UAD
plug-in license status for those cards, is referred to as a “System” (formally
known as “Group”) on the My Systems page at my.uaudio.com. When you
click the Authorize Plug-Ins...” button, UAD cards in the host computer are au-
tomatically registered and added to a System.
The UAD hardware identification numbers for each UAD card in a single host
computer are stored in the same System. Authorization files generated at
my.uaudio.com are constrained to only authorize the licensed UAD plug-ins
running on the UAD cards in the same System. The same authorization file au-
thorizes all the cards and plug-ins in the host computer.
If you register a UAD card that is in a second host computer using the same
my.uaudio account, a second System is automatically created at My Systems.
In accordance with the “Plug-In License Policy” on page 50, you can’t have
UAD cards from two separate computers in the same System. Each System
generates a unique authorization file.
Authorization Notes
• UAD cards must be authorized to run bundled (included) plug-ins. See “Au-
thorization Overview” on page 42 for details.
• Without authorization, UAD plug-ins can be enabled to run for 14 days
without functional limitations in a timed demo mode (see “Demo Mode” on
page 45).
• Older versions of the UAD software may not include all the latest UAD
plug-ins. To ensure all UAD plug-ins are installed, and for optimum perfor-
mance, we recommend updating to the latest UAD version. See “Check for
Updates” on page 58.
