• During authorization, the UAD plug-in license state is stored on the UAD-2
device. If the UAD-2 is moved to another computer, it is not necessary to re-
load an authorization file.
Demo Mode
All unlicensed UAD plug-ins include a free 14-day trial evaluation period.
When the demonstration mode is activated, the plug-in will run without func-
tional limitations for 14 days. Demo mode can be activated once only. After
the demo trial period has expired, demo mode cannot be activated again on
the same UAD device.
If an unlicensed plug-in is loaded and its demo has never been started, a di-
alog appears with instructions to start the demo and the option to visit the on-
line store to purchase the license. If you don’t start the demo or purchase a li-
cense, the plug-in interface appears and can be manipulated, but audio is not
processed by the plug-in.
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 time to thoroughly check out its sound
and functionality.
Demo Activation To activate demo mode:
1. Ensure UAD Powered Plug-Ins version 5.0 or higher is already installed and
configured properly (see Chapter 2, “UAD Installation”).
2. Launch the UAD Meter & Control Panel application (page 49).
3. Select “Plug-Ins...” from the Control Panel Menu (page 51). The UAD
Plug-Ins panel (Figure 11 on page 57) appears.
4. Click the Start Demo button for the desired UAD plug-in. 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.
Demo Notes • In addition to the Plug-Ins panel, Demo mode can also be activated directly
from the UAD Toolbar (see page 73).
• Manipulating the computer’s system date and time will result in a decreased
demo period.
