I had to do that when I sold my Apollo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LasWaltz Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It's not the plugin what matters, but the license. If the license is tied to the card, he will not be able to use that plugin with other devices after transferring the license to you (or you won't be able to use it, unless he transfers the license to you). Have look here: https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206238366-how-to-transfer-ownership-of-uad-2-apollo-devices#:~:text=When a UAD-2 or,"My UA Hardware" page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thks so let's say he transferts the HW only , i will lose all plugins in ? So the only way to keep plugins is to not make a licences and be tied to school account ?

smallstonefan Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Zo, When you transfer a UAD device you either choose to transfer ALL plugins or NONE (if none, then the card gets the default plugins it came with). He can send you the card but he should NOT transfer it to your account. The licenses are attached to the hardware and to the account so you will both have access to the same plugins. I hope this helps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can send you the card but he should NOT transfer it to your account. The licenses are attached to the hardware and to the account so you will both have access to the same plugins. I hope this helps, In order for this to work for Zo, the UAD Card would have to be set up as "System 2". The plugins are tied to system, and ONLY that system can use the plugins. Let's say I have ONE system, but that ONE system contains 3 devices. All 3 devices can use ALL of my plugins. If I set up a 2 System Account then I can activate plugins to System 1, and I can activate DIFFERENT plugins to System 2, and the plugins are tied to the System and it's Device...NOT to "Everything", and only the plugins "Tied" to that system and device would transfer if the device was sold. Notice in the example that it says "View plugins in this system" That means that ONLY the plugins tied to that "System" (device - if only 1 device per system) will be transferred. Hopefully that helps clarify this process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I have a Apollo and a Octo Satellite. If I want to use my Apollo Twin with my Surface for a mobile job, and use my UA plugins on my Surface, from your explanation Larry, that would not be possible. Am I reading that correctly? IOW, the plugins are not tied to the UA hardware, they are tied to the computer/system. But they need a UA hardware dongle to be able to use them. That ain't WAS!

IOW, the plugins are not tied to the UA hardware, they are tied to the computer/system. But they need a UA hardware dongle to be able to use them. That ain't WAS! No Grem... Each "System" that you create in your account can have up to 6 Devices, and ALL of those devices on that system can share the plugins. So, if you have 2 different "Systems" set up in your account, they are SEPERATE, and only the plugins on System 1 can be shared by the DEVICES on System 1, and only the plugins on System 2 can be shared by system 2 devices. System 1 cannot use System 2 Plugins and visa versa.... So, in your case, if you only have ONE system set up, and BOTH devices are on that "System" then BOTH devices can use ALL of your plugins. But, if you have the 2 Devices set up on TWO SEPERATE SYSTEMS...i.e...the Octo on ONE system, and the Apollo on ANOTHER system, then the Octo can only use plugins tied to "System 1" and the Apollo can only use plugins tied to "System 2".
