UAD System Manual - 55 - Chapter 6: UAD Meter & Control Panel

Save Detailed

System Proﬁle

Clicking this button will generate a detailed UAD system profile and prompt

you for a location to save the text file to disk. This file contains an even greater

level of detail than the System Information panel, which can be useful for trou-

bleshooting or if UA Customer Support requests this document when provid-

ing assistance.

The profile lists the version strings of the individual UAD software compo-

nents, installed device type(s) with serial and hardware ID numbers, host com-

puter information, and detailed authorization status for all UAD plug-ins.

Generate Log Clicking this button will generate a file named UADDriverLog.txt and place it

on the desktop. The file contains low-level driver data that may be requested

by UA Customer Support for troubleshooting purposes only; it does not affect

UAD operation in any way. The level of detail in the log is determined by the

Generate Log drop menu adjacent to the button (Low/Medium/High).

Plug-Ins Panel

The Plug-Ins panel (Figure 11 on page 57) displays the current authorization

status of all UAD plug-ins. This is also where you can activate plug-in Demo

Mode (“UA Online Store” on page 41) and configure UAD plug-ins to run on

a specific device. Use the scrollbar to view plug-ins that are not visible in the

list.

Authorize

Plug-ins button

This important button links directly to your ac-

count at the UA online store to automatically gen-

erate and download an authorization file for

your UAD plug-ins. If you do not already have an account, you are redirected

to the registration page to create one.

Important: UAD plug-ins require authorization before they can be used. For

detailed information, see “Authorization Overview” on page 37. Without au-

thorization, UAD plug-ins can be enabled to run for 14 days without func-

tional limitations in a timed demo mode (see “Demo Mode” on page 40).

The complete procedure for UAD device authorization is detailed in

Chapter 2, “UAD Installation.” See “Authorize Plug-Ins Procedure” on

page 23 for complete step-by-step instructions. If the UAD computer is not

connected to the internet, see “Ofﬂine Authorization” on page 24.
