rization). Authorization is accomplished by clicking the “Authorize Plug-Ins”

This procedure provides only the step-by-step process for UAD authorization.
A complete overview of UAD authorization, my.uaudio.com, and the UA on-
line store is in
Chapter 4, “My.uaudio.com.”

host computer. To authorize from a system that is not online, see “Offline Au-
thorization” on page 34 .
