UAD System Manual - 44 - Chapter 5: Using Multiple UAD Devices
CHAPTER 5
Using Multiple UAD Devices
Overview
Multiple UAD-2 devices can be used in a single host computer system for in-
creased DSP capacity. The UAD-2 devices in the multidevice system can be
mixed and/or matched in any combination (see
“The UAD Hardware” on
page 28 ).
When multiple UAD-2 devices are installed in the host computer, the DSP and
memory load of the devices are automatically balanced dynamically as UAD
plug-ins are loaded and unloaded. With multiple devices, there is no major
difference in operating procedures, except that more UAD Powered Plug-Ins
can be loaded simultaneously in the session.
Mixed UAD
System
The UAD drivers support up to four UAD-2 devices running in the same host
computer system concurrently. The devices can be any combination within the
UAD-2 family (PCIe, Satellite, SOLO/Laptop, Apollo).
Plug-In License Policy
The Universal Audio End-User License Agreement (“EULA”) on page 3 grants
you the non-exclusive right to use UAD Powered Plug-Ins on a single computer
at a single location.
Since you can run up to four UAD-2 devices type in the same computer, each
individual UAD plug-in license will authorize all the devices in one computer.
As an example, if you have four UAD-2 devices but run a dual-device system
in two separate computers, you are required to purchase separate licenses for
the second system.
Authorizing Multiple Devices
When you buy an optional plug-in, your purchased license is valid for all the
UAD devices in the computer. The license is tied to the specific UAD devices
in the
System (see page 39 ) when the license was purchased. For example,
if you have two devices when you purchase a plug-in, your authorization file
will authorize both devices.
