Disabling UA Connect does not interfere with plugin function. I can start using my UAD plugins again... I hate that I have to be always online while using UAD plugins. I wish they did a check once in a while (a month or so) and let me use the plugin without having to get constantly online. For me it goes like this: I’m starting a session in offline mode, and at some point, drag a UAD plugin into a channel… Plugin is not activated. I’m going online, open UAD refresh plugins, remove UAD plugin from the channel, put it back, still “Plugin is not activated.”. So, I have to close the DAW and get back on for it to work. Excuse my manners, but I hate this sh*t, and I won’t get an ilok usb just to make them work offline, and get that panic heart attack that I could lose it or it could break, and no, I won’t pay for ZDC. Someone, please, tell them that they need to do something about this. This is exacly why I didn’t upgraded to a higher bundle. And I won’t upgrade until I see this fixed somehow.

jngnz Posted July 3, 2024 Share Posted July 3, 2024 I've read somewhere that UAD trialed iLok machine authorisation with some of their freebies and for some reason it caused a bunch of problems for them so they vowed never to do that again. I wouldn’t count on them enabling it any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how/why it works for me (especially since I'm not using a Mac). Have you tried contacting UAD's Tech Support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
