Now everyone can use UAD plugins

"It’s not quite hell freezing over, but Universal Audio’s decision to start releasing native versions of its UAD plugins on the new Spark subscription platform (VST3/AU/AAX), so that they can run in pretty much any DAW without any UA hardware, still counts as an abrupt change in philosophy. 

Initially available for Mac (Windows support is coming later this year), Spark is billed as an evolving platform that will cost you $20 a month (plus taxes outside the US), though you can try before you buy with a 14-day free trial. If you own one of UA’s Volt audio interfaces, meanwhile, you can try Spark free for a month.

It’s also worth noting that, if you’re a UAD hardware owner and have already purchased a perpetual license of a UAD plugin featured in Spark, you’ll get the native version for free (no subscription required). So, you’ll be able to take that plugin wherever you go, regardless of whether your Apollo or other UAD hardware has come along for the ride."

UAD Spark plug‑ins run on your Mac,  No UA hardware required. (Windows coming Fall 2022)
