Plug-In Column
All currently installed UAD Powered Plug‑Ins are displayed in the Plug‑In column. Plug‑
Ins are listed by release order, with newest plug‑ins at the top of the column. Use the
scroll bar to view the entire list if necessary.
Status Column
The Status column reflects the current authorization state of each UAD plug‑in. After
authorization, the status will show one of the following:
Authorized for devices – When the plug‑in is fully licensed and authorized to run on all
units in the system, “Authorized for all devices” is displayed here in white text.
When a plug‑in is licensed but not all devices in a multi‑unit system are authorized
with the license, the Status column indicates which of the devices is authorized (e.g.,
“Authorized for device 1 only”).
Start Demo – The demo period has not been started for the plug‑in. Click the “START
DEMO” button to begin the 14‑day trial period. See
for
detailed information.
Important:
The 14-day demo period for an individual UAD plug-in can only
be activated once, and cannot be stopped or restarted during this period. We
recommend you do not activate demo mode until you have the time to thoroughly
check out the plug-in’s sound and functionality.
Demo Active (days remaining) – If the 14‑day trial period has been activated but is not
yet expired, the number of days remaining is displayed here in green text.
Demo Expired – If the 14‑day trial period has ended, “Demo expired” is displayed here
in red text.
