About Registration and Authorization

The Apollo Twin hardware must be registered and authorized at my.uaudio.com to unlock

UAD Powered Plug-Ins that are bundled with the product. Registration only needs to be

completed once, however authorization should be completed each time the Apollo Twin

software is updated.

The Apollo Twin hardware stores its authorization and UAD licenses in the device itself,

so the unit can be connected to a different computer without repeating the authorization

process. UAD plug-ins that were not bundled with the product can be evaluated without

functional restriction during a demonstration mode that expires after 14 days.
