Demo Mode

All unlicensed UAD plug-ins include a free 14-day trial evaluation period.
When the demonstration mode is activated, the plug-in will run without func-
tional limitations for 14 days. Demo mode can be activated once only. After
the demo trial period has expired, demo mode cannot be activated again on
the same UAD device.
If an unlicensed plug-in is loaded and its demo has never been started, a di-
alog appears with instructions to start the demo and the option to visit the on-
line store to purchase the license. If you don't start the demo or purchase a li-
cense, the plug-in interface appears and can be manipulated, but audio is not
processed by the plug-in.
Important:
not be stopped or restarted during this period! We recommend you do not ac-
tivate demo mode until you have the time to thoroughly check out its sound
and functionality.
