My UA Connect software has an "unexpected launch issue"(W10).
The blue circle spins for a long time, stops and I get that message.
Tried uninstalling with Revo and reinstalling the latest version but no luck.
Funny, since I own a UA Volt 2 and have numerous legit UA titles and am used to using the software
Sent a message to UA support, let's see if they can help.
Edit: They say to uninstall my CC Cleaner Pro.
CC Cleaner is quite useful to me so I'll probably have to uninstall it before using UA Connect and reinstall it after every time I want to install a UA program .
And they say this for all these other programs:

• Avast
• AVG Antivirus & Security
• App Cleaner 7
• Bitdefender Total Security
• CCleaner
• ClashX
• CleanMyMac X
• ExpressVPN
• Kaspersky Internet Security
• Little Snitch
• LuLu
• Mac Cleaner Pro
• MacKeeper
• Malwarebytes
• McAfee WebAdvisor
• McAfee Safe Connect VPN
• Nord VPN
• Norton 360
• PandaVPN
• Proton VPN
• Revo Uninstaller
• SurfShark
• Trusteer Rapport
• Unicorn HTTPS
• Zscaler

Why not just fix their own software so it works with these common place tools?
UA sucks

do you really wanna know?
Well people that dont have and/or dont use UAD stuff just wanna write anyway their experience lol

PS: I agree with everything you reported, finally something reasonable. I am a satellite user but no hardware.

 

'oh yeah, for one, I get that people that haven't been forced to use iLok etc don't want to, absolutely... it's been a bit tougher for us macOS peeps on that, and I also tend to (gasp!) purchase the tools I find myself using as long as the dev's aren't pos's etc, as while I like the "try before buy" opportunities gifted to me from the sister site, (and that has saved my rear end from buying some real garbage over the years), the stuff that is good and smaller devs etc.... well, I like to get paid for my work, and if their work is helping me in any fashion, and aren't unreasonable in pricing etc... I want to support them.

So yeah, I'm stuck with iLok for some things as that plays out (not getting Soundtoys and Eventide and the others without it), so as much as my past experiences with UA have colored my desire or opinion on them, I do recognize they have some decent stuff, and hell, for free and whatnot... sure...

I just haven't encountered any problems with need for authorizing them while working offline etc the way I use it...

and hell, collecting some freebies or donation based stuff from devs like Soundtoys and Eventide over the years has ultimately saved me a lot of money in upgrading to different things when the time comes.. like getting Soundtoys full package for ~$120 or whatnot etc... so I just find, even if I'm not in need or planning on using it, collecting some of these things/licenses can sometimes have future ancillary positives...

 

Ok. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please...

1. They require an internet connection
2. they require a POS iLOK
3. they require that the moronic "UAconnect" spyware be installed so UA knows exactly what you are doing 24/7

"Free" ??

 

well, one of the 3 is required at least.

I went with option 2, as already had to for other products I have purchased and use.

and as much as I dislike iLok vehemently, I don't find it intrusive in terms of sending/receiving data I don't want it to the way I implement it.

 

Hello i have some questions, i own an Appollo Twin and already have UAD plugins authorized on my computer, i never had UAConnect installed tho and the plugins are working fine.

I have two questions:

Do i need UA Connect for this freebie?

Is there a problem or a risk with that "PACE" shit they want me to instal with UAConnect? Can it unauthorize some cracked plugins?

Thank you!

 

Get a copy regardless. It will go to your account and you can download the 'Auth.uad2' file and activate it to your Apollo. Its working on mine offline. You can use it in the Unison Pre Amp slots, so definitely get that.

 

Ok... You need an Internet connection to download it. They say you don't need iLok at all, but can authorize it to the computer, but that has to be done via Internet.

You can then uninstall UAConnect if its activated to an iLok hardware. I don't know about iLok software that is online all the time... I can't tell you if you need to keep UAConnect for this plugin to work without iLok, but the main plugins that I have will work after removing UAConnect... I can't say if they leave loads of tracking crap behind though. Wouldn't surprise me... So you need to install it but possibly don't need to keep it installed once it has done its dirty work, whatever dirty shit they're doing.

 

Funny Story I was and still always reluctent to use UAD stuff...
But your post got me
So I'Ve intalled
