In a studio situation, this isn&#8217;t always feasible so the best option for using your UAD plug-ins in another studio&nbsp;may be to physically bring your UAD-2 \/ Apollo hardware with you to connect to that studio&#8217;s computer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-left\"><span class=\"wysiwyg-font-size-medium\">For details on using multiple UAD-2 \/ Apollo devices from different accounts with the same computer system, see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.uaudio.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/211164923-Using-Multiple-UAD-2-Devices-Registered-to-Different-UA-Accounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this article<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-left\"><span class=\"wysiwyg-font-size-medium\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-left\"><strong><span class=\"wysiwyg-font-size-medium\">I have six UAD-2 \/ Apollo devices registered to a system of my account, but one of these devices is no longer being used.
