Activating UAD Instrument and LUNA Extension Demos

LUNA includes a 14-day fully functional trial evaluation period for individual UAD Instruments and LUNA Extensions that are not already licensed by the registered owner. 

Starting a demo period in LUNA will depend on which mode that your iLok account is in. In most cases, your iLok account will be in Automatic Mode. See instructions below on how to activate a demo in LUNA.  For more information on managing iLok modes, click here
