UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 67 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
If the UAD card is installed into a different system, the same (already ac-
quired) .reg file must be loaded into the different computer and the card be-
comes authorized to run the plugin on that system. The same UAD and its as-
sociated .reg file can be loaded into an unlimited number of computer
systems (including Windows and Mac systems, as the card and key file are
cross-platform).
Important: The .reg settings file contains the authorization key for the spe-
cific UAD card. It is required every time the card needs to be authorized, such
as if it is installed into a different computer. Back it up and keep it in a safe
place!
Important: The optional plugins are contained within the UAD software in-
staller, not the .reg key file. Download and install the latest UAD software ver-
sion to ensure the optional plugins that you are authorizing are installed.
Mac OS In Mac OS X, once a card is authorized and it is used with a different System
or CPU, you can copy the com.uaudio.uad.plist file (inside Library:Prefer-
ences) into the current Library:Preferences instead of loading the .reg file.

Timing
Purchasing and downloading plugin authorizations is a completely automatic
process. Purchased plugin authorization keys can now be downloaded within
minutes of payment verification.
Note: We recommend you do not wait until the last day of demo period to
purchase plugin authorizations, in case there is a unexpected delay in obtain-
ing authorizations.
Authorizing Multiple Cards
When you buy a copy-protected plugin, your purchase is valid for up to four
UAD cards. However, the authorization key is tied to the specific Hardware
IDs entered during purchase. If you have four cards when you purchase the
plugin, your .reg file will authorize all four cards. If you have one card during
purchase then later acquire another card(s), you will need to acquire a new
.reg file containing the authorization for the new card(s). However, there is no
charge for the new .reg file containing the additional authorizations. Your
purchase buys authorizations for a maximum of four cards.
