Install the UAD Powered Plug-Ins software and the UAD hardware using the

open the Plug-Ins panel ( see page 51 ).
3.
Click the “Authorize Plug-Ins” button ( page 55 ). The my.uaudio.com online
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.

Your device will be automatically registered and added to your “My Sys-
tems” computer group, and your authorization file is generated.

Click the “Download Authorization” button at the bottom of the registration
page to download the “auth.uad2” file. The authorization file is down-
loaded by the browser to the location specified in the browser preferences.

Double click the auth.uad2 file. The authorization is loaded onto the UAD
device(s) and after a few seconds the “Authorizations Updated Success-
