UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 71 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Demo Mode
If demo mode has never been activated and a copy-protected plugin is
started, the message “Close the program and run the UAD Meter to start the
timed demo” appears. If you click Cancel, the plugin interface appears and
can be manipulated but audio is not processed by the plugin.
Once the demo mode is activated, the plugin will run without functional limi-
tations for 14 days. Demo mode can only be activated one time. Once the
demo period has expired, demo mode cannot be activated again on the
same UAD card.
Important: The 14 day demo period can only be activated once, and can-
not be stopped or restarted during this period! We recommend you do not ac-
tivate demo mode until you have the opportunity to thoroughly check out its
sound and functionality.
Demo Activation To activate demo mode:
1. Ensure UAD Powered Plug-Ins version 4.0 or higher is already installed and
configured properly (see “Installation” on page 26).
2. Quit all open VST, DirectX, MAS, and Audio Units host applications.
3. Launch the UAD Meter application (page 33).
4. When the UAD Meter is in the foreground, select “Authorizations...” from
the System Menu (Windows; page 33) or File Menu (Mac OS; page 34).
The Authorizations window (Figure 17 on page 69) appears.
5. Click the Start Demo button. A confirmation window appears and the timed
demo can be activated or demo activation can be cancelled.
The timed demo is activated for 14 days.
Important: Demo mode relies on the computer system date and time. Ma-
nipulating the system clock can result in a decreased demo period.
