Offline Authorization
Note: If the UAD computer is not connected to the internet, you will need to
manually transfer the registration URL into the browser of a web-enabled com-
puter.
To download and apply the UAD authorization file if not connected to the internet:
1. Install UAD Powered Plug-Ins software and the UAD hardware using the
procedures detailed in this chapter (the system must be operating properly).
2. Launch the UAD Meter & Control Panel application (see page 49) and
open the Plug-Ins panel (see page 51).
3. Click the “Authorize Plug-Ins” button (page 55). The default web browser
opens with the registration URL in the address bar (and you may get an er-
ror that the computer is not connected to the internet).
4. You must enter this URL into a web-connected computer, so either:
a) Drag the URL icon to the Desktop to create a weblink shortcut (preferred,
Figure 4 on page 25) then transfer the weblink shortcut to the internet com-
puter via a storage device or network, OR
b) Carefully write down the URL, EXACTLY as it appears.
5. Go to the URL using a web browser on an internet-connected computer.
Double-click the transferred weblink shortcut, or enter the URL as noted.
