But ua forces you for uad2, to download one big file/authorization snd you always see all those plugs, unless you create your own folders, like in logic. The plug in cleaner strips out all the un purchased ua plugs. Oh I didn’t know they were still doing that for non-native. For native it’s just the Connect app, where you select what you want to install from what’s in your account. I like that part of native, but it’s a huge pain that it wants to open itself and re-authorize *every time* I open a session with a UAD plug that I have a perpetual license for. |

Is it prompting you to do something for this auth? I don’t think I’ve had Connect needing to do anything after I initially download and install. |

That’s not right, other then an update coming from ua, you should just be able to use ua native plugs with no ua connect interaction required.
Are your ua authorities on your computer on on a cloud ?

Seems he is and the cloud synch is dropping so has to reset, better to have your setting to manage, put them on your dongle or computer: ua connect defaults to cloud authorization, once dropped/burned forever shy !  |

So I checked out the article and I don't think it's going to be of much help to me because it looks like the only two options are ILok USB or Cloud, and I've never had an iLok USB, only the machine licenses. Well, that's annoying. Especially having just checked and confirmed that I can't use any of my UAD plugs offline. |

When you say machine, you mean you authorized your ilok licenses to be stored on your computer ?

When you open ilok, do you see an M for manage over each ua native plug in ? My iLok manager window only shows the USB and cloud symbols as available options for UAD native licenses, and that echoes what it says on UAD’s website. The only exception is the free LA-2A (also matching what the website says). There’s wording stating specifically that UAD native will only work online, or offline with a USB iLok, I just didn’t catch it before I bought mine. Added:”By default, UA Connect authorizes your software using the iLok Cloud service. iLok Cloud does not require an iLok USB device, but does require a constant internet connection. If you do not have a constant connection, or want to store your licenses on an iLok USB for another reason, you can move your licenses to an iLok USB.” |

   Here are two ilok manager screenshots. In the first under the first digirocks cloud account there is a little M in the top right hand corner above the K. That indicates than I am managing where my license will go. They will not default to the cloud. I will have the option of choosing where I want the authorizations to reside, cloud, dongle or computer. If you double click on, it the second screen opens and you see that Manage is specified or you can switch to automatic, the default, which puts the authorization back on the cloud. The third shot shows where my authorizations are ( far left hand column) and note that you can have more than one location. In all cases, I have my authorizations on my computer, see the centre column under valid locations monitor image darkened. They only time my ilok related plug ins dont work was when they were on the cloud and it was down or with internet problems. Last week for the first time a ua native plug was not opening, but when I opened ua connect they all needed to be updated, although I had just installed them a few days ago. Other than that with authorizations on my computer, I never have the problem you first described. I'd suggest opening up your ilok manager and just reviewing your plug in authorizations, as you should be able to install them on your computer. |
