    I prefixed all my plugin files with "UAD" so now I have the full UAD bundle. It might work differently with file extensions though, so YMMV.

    Could you share it with us, please :rofl:

    To answer the OP: No, VST2 and VST3 have completely different coding architecture. Simple change of the extension will not work.

    No, won't work.

    You can use the VST2 version of a "container plugin", say, DDMF's Metaplugin to load a VST3.
