UA Account & Store
UA Account
Your Universal Audio account is where all your UAD devices, and their associated UAD
plug-ins, are registered and managed.
An account is required to download UAD software, register and authorize your Apollo
Solo USB hardware, claim bundled UAD plug-ins, and receive customer support.
UA Store
The Universal Audio online store is where optional UAD plug-in licenses are purchased
and UA coupons are redeemed. For related information, see UA Account & Store.
UAD Authorization
UAD plug-ins must be authorized before they will process audio. UAD plug-ins in your
UA account are authorized automatically (internet connection required).
Note that UAD plug-in authorizations are stored on the UAD device, not the computer. If
the device is moved to a different computer, it’s not necessary to reauthorize the device.
When an optional UAD plug-in license is purchased at the UA store, it needs to be
manually authorized. The store shows you how, or see UAD Authorization Procedure for
instructions.
Note: When an optional UAD plug-in license is purchased, you don’t download
that individual plug-in. Instead, you reauthorize the system, which activates the
UAD plug-in that is already installed.
