What to do if you see the error message “Driver Not Installed Correctly” or “Driver Version Mismatch” on previous macOS versions

On older operating systems, “Driver Not Installed Correctly” or “Driver Version Mismatch” typically means that there was an issue with the installation of one or more UAD drivers. This issue can usually be resolved by doing a complete uninstall/reinstall of the UAD software, including manually deleting the UAD preference files. See: UAD Uninstall/Reinstall Instructions for Mac.
