If I own the UAD-2 version of a plug-in, how do I get the native UAD version?

If you own or purchase a UAD plug-in or UAD instrument that has been ported to native then it is possible to get the native UAD version. If the license is also available on the UAD-2 platform, you will be able to get a license for it as well.

  1. Download and install the latest UAD Software including UA Connect
  2. Open UA Connect and login to your uaudio.com account.
  3. Allow UA Connect to create a new iLok account or link your existing iLok account.
