If you own or purchase a UAD-2 plug-in or instrument that has been ported to native, you may be eligible for a free license for the UAD Native version.
Note: Not all natively ported plug-ins are eligible, and some exceptions may apply. For a complete list of plug-ins available on the native platform, read this article.
To use native UAD-2 plug-ins you will need to:
- Download and install the latest UAD Software including UA Connect.
- Open UA Connect and login to your account on our website.
- Allow UA Connect to create a new iLok account if you don't already have one, or link your existing iLok account if you do.
- If a license has not yet been authorized, you may have to redeem your native UAD plug-ins in UA Connect.
- Once a license is authorized, download and install your native UAD plug-in.
For more detailed instructions, read this article.
