Coupons
Coupons may be included in UAD retail packages and/or included with email promotions.
These virtual coupons have dollar values that are as “good as cash” for buying UAD plug-
ins at my.uaudio.com. Coupons are applied to your my.uaudio.com account automatical-
ly. The coupon dollar amount is in your account as a credit, ready to be applied to your
store purchase.
Coupons expire after a limited time period, and they can be used only once.
Tip: Coupons are a great reason to subscribe to promotional announcements.
Email subscription preferences are specified on your “My Profile” page at
my.uaudio.com.
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 purchase an optional license,
you don’t download that individual plug-in. Instead, you download a newer authorization
file, which activates the plug-in file that is already installed.
Important:
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 performance,
we recommend updating to the latest UAD version.

plished by clicking the
