UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 50 - Chapter 5: Using Multiple UAD Cards
CHAPTER 5
Using Multiple UAD Cards
Overview
When multiple UAD cards are installed in the host computer, the DSP and
memory load of the cards are automatically balanced dynamically as UAD
plug-ins are loaded and unloaded. With multiple cards, there is no major dif-
ference in operating procedures, except that more Powered Plug-Ins can be
loaded simultaneously in the session.
Mixed UAD System
The UAD drivers support up to four UAD-2 and
four UAD-1 cards running in the same host com-
puter system concurrently. The cards can be any
combination of UAD-2 family and/or UAD-1 fam-
ily cards, up to four of each, for a total of up to
eight UAD cards in one computer.
UAD-Xpander
The UAD-Xpander can be used as part of a the
multicard desktop system via the UAD-Xtenda Ex-
pressCard to PCIe adapter card, which is option-
ally available at my.uaudio.com. The
UAD-Xpander contains a single UAD-1e card and
will count as one of the four UAD-1 cards that will
run concurrently.
Plug-In License Policy
The Universal Audio End-User License Agreement (“EULA”) on page 3 grants
you the non-exclusive right to use UAD Powered Plug-Ins on a single computer
at a single location.
Since you can run up to four of each card type (UAD-2 and UAD-1) in the
same computer, each individual UAD plug-in license will authorize all the
cards in one computer (up to eight cards, four of each type).
