UAD Software Installation
Install Software
First
If you are installing UAD Powered Plug-Ins for the first time, install the software
before installing the UAD device(s). This is particularly important on Windows
systems for plug-and-play functionality. If you are updating to a newer version
of the software or installing additional UAD devices, it is not necessary to re-
move the previous UAD software or hardware from the system, but you should
still install the newer software before adding new devices.
Note: The UAD Powered Plug-Ins software installer is identical for all UAD
hardware (there are only two UAD installers, one each for Win & Mac).
Install Options The UAD software is comprised of many components, and the version of all
the components must match for proper operation. When the UAD installer is
run, all existing UAD components are deleted to avoid version mismatch.
Therefore, it is necessary to select all the desired driver and plug-in format op-
tions during each UAD installation. Partial installations are not possible.
Important: Select all desired options each time the UAD installer is run. Pre-
viously installed components are deleted during installation.
Win & Mac Software installation and removal for Windows and Mac platforms have their
own particular procedures; each are described below.
Important: Close all open files and applications before starting the instal-
lation procedure. Specifically, make sure the UAD Meter & Control Panel and
all UAD host applications are not running.
Windows Install Software Installation Procedure for Windows Systems
Important: Verify the computer system date and time are set correctly be-
fore installing the software and/or launching the UAD Meter & Control Panel
application for the first time.
1. Launch the software installer.
• To install from CD-ROM, insert the UAD Powered Plug-Ins CD. If the installer
doesn’t automatically run, double click the Setup.exe application located at
the root of the CD.
• To install from a download, double-click the downloaded software archive,
which is an executable application. The installer will run automatically.
2. Setup will guide you through the installation procedure. Take care to select
the proper component package(s) for your system.
