Chapter 5: Using Multiple UAD Devices
Authorizing Multiple Devices
When you buy an optional plug-in, your purchased license is valid for all the
UAD devices in the computer. The license is tied to the specific UAD devices
in the
) when the license was purchased. For example,
if you have two devices when you purchase a plug-in, your authorization file
will authorize both devices.
If you have one device during purchase then later
acquire another device(s), you will need to
download a new authorization file containing
the licenses for the new device(s). However, there is no charge for the new au-
thorization file containing the additional licenses. Your purchase buys li-
censes for all the devices in the same computer.
Each individual device must be authorized in order to run optional plug-ins,
however multiple installed devices are authorized simultaneously. If one de-
vice is authorized then another device is added without downloading a new
authorization, the optional plug-in will only load on the previously authorized
device. To obtain a new authorization file for additional devices, use the “Au-
thorize Plug-ins” button (
) in the UAD Meter & Control Panel.
UAD-1 with UAD-2
When using UAD-1 and UAD-2 devices together in the same
system, the
vice (UAD-2 or UAD-1) each plug-in will load and run on.
You can use this menu when both UAD-2 and UAD-1 are in-
stalled to help manage your DSP resources.
Note:
The Run On menu should not be used dynamically; it is designed to be
“set and forget” because the value is not stored within sessions.
Power Requirement
Each UAD card draws power from the expansion slot that it is installed in
(PCI, PCI-X, or PCIe). The total power draw of all the installed cards must not
exceed the power that can be adequately delivered by the host computer.
