How To Manually Activate Native UADx and Spark Licenses

UA Connect will automatically authorize your licenses in the iLok License Manager; however, if for some reason this process did not occur and you are experiencing an issue, you can follow the steps below to activate those licenses manually.

  1. Log into the iLok License Manager using the iLok ID that's linked to your UA account. 
    Note: If you don't know your iLok, you can go to to the iLok page in your UA account and it will show you the iLok ID associated with your account.

  2. For UAD Spark only: Navigate to File > Open Cloud Session. If you are activating perpetual licenses, you can skip this step.
    Note: If Cloud Session is already open click Close Your Cloud Session or Close All Cloud Sessions and click Open Cloud Session after.

  4. Find the UAD Spark or native UAD license in the All Licenses view. Then, right-click it and select Activate.
    Note: Make sure the license you've chosen to activate is not expired.

  5. Select your Activation location. UAD Spark users will be required to select the iLok Cloud Session or an iLok USB. Users activating perpetual licenses can select a local host (i.e. the computer they are using) or an iLok USB. Then, click the Activate button.
