Apollo Software Manual Chapter 2: Installation & Setup 15
Registration & Authorization
Apollo must be registered and authorized at my.uaudio.com to unlock its UAD-2 func-
tionality. Apollo can be used as a normal audio interface (without UAD Powered Plug-Ins)
without registration and authorization. Unlicensed UAD-2 plug-ins can be used in demo
mode for 14 days without authorization.
Registration only needs to be completed once, however authorization must be completed
each time the UAD software is updated. Apollo, like all UAD-2 devices, stores its autho-
rization and UAD licenses in the device itself, so the unit can be connected to a different
computer without repeating the authorization process.
Important: Registration and authorization can only be accomplished after success-
ful software installation
To register and authorize Apollo:
Note: Registration is part of the initial authorization process (it’s not a separate
procedure). The following steps require an Internet connection to the host com-
puter. To authorize a system that is not online, see the UAD System Manual.
1. Ensure that the Apollo software is installed and Apollo is powered up and con-
nected to the computer via FireWire or Thunderbolt (the hardware and software
systems must be communicating properly)
2. Open the UAD Meter & Control Panel application. It can be accessed via
the following methods:
• (Mac) Click its icon in the OS X Dock
• (Win) Select it from Start Menu>All Programs>UAD Powered Plug-Ins
3. Open the “Plug-Ins” panel within the UAD Meter & Control Panel application.
Access the panel by clicking the menu button in the UAD Meter window and
selecting “Plug-Ins...” from the drop menu.
