Information about moving from UAD-1 to UAD-2

We've made it easy for existing UAD-1, UAD-1e, and UAD-Xpander users to step up to the power and musicality of the UAD-2. See the Great UAD-1 Trade-In page for details.

Free UAD-1 Plug-In Transfers to UAD-2

• UAD-1 Powered Plug-In libraries can be upgraded to run on UAD-2 hardware at no additional charge.
• During registration of your new UAD-2 hardware, you'll be prompted to upgrade your existing plug-ins to UAD-2. Once you do so, every plug-in you own* will work on both the UAD-1 & UAD-2 devices, as long as the devices remain in the same system.

*The Nigel plug-in has been discontinued and is not available for UAD-2, but it will continue to run on UAD-1. 

• The UAD-2 plug-in license upgrade is tied to the UAD-1 licenses. If you ever decide to sell your UAD-1 devices(s), you must sell it without licenses if you plan on continuing to use the licensed plug-ins with UAD-2. If you sell the plug-ins with your UAD-1 devices(s), purchased plug-ins will no longer be available on your UAD-2 devices.
• Only one UAD-2 SOLO/Laptop device can be "Linked" to each desktop group/system
• Up to two UAD-2 Satellite devices can be "Linked" to each desktop group/system
• UAD-2 License Registration is a link to the original desktop system, so if you ever decide to sell your desktop UAD devices(s), you will need to transfer your plug-in licenses to the UAD-2 Satellite or SOLO/Laptop if you plan on continuing to use your plug-ins. If you sell the plug-ins on your desktop device(s), the Link License will be severed, and your purchased plug-ins will no longer be available on the UAD-2 Satellite or SOLO/Laptop.
