Ophidian had het al even over de trade-in actie en het is erg belangrijk hier rekening mee te houden bij de aanschaf van je kaart!!
Hou er rekening mee dat wanneer je in de toekomst eventueel nieuwe plug-ins aan wil kopen je absoluut een uad2 kaart moet hebben in je systeem!!
Ze gaan namelijk alle plug-ins herschrijven naar 64bit en deze kunnen niet draaien op de uad1 kaarten of op een combinatie van beide kaarten.
Dus met andere woorden wil je in de toekomst uitbreiden met nieuwe plug-ins dan heb je niks meer aan je uad1 kaart of aan je combi van uad1 en uad2.

Verder staat misschien ook wel ergens op de website maar ik kon het zo snel niet vinden in dus even ter info/uitleg het volgende schrijven wat ik via mail heb ontvangen:
April 2, 2012
Dear UAD-1 user –
I hope this letter finds you well, and that your new year has been filled with music.
In December, I wrote an open letter to our 45,000 UAD owners worldwide regarding Universal Audio’s plans to transition the UAD platform to 64-bit architecture in 2012. Today, I’m pleased to announce that this transition is going smoothly, and we are on schedule to have our full library of almost 60 UAD-2 plug-ins transitioned later this year, at no charge to our users.
Importantly, as part of this 64-bit transition, upcoming versions of UAD Powered Plug-Ins software will no longer support legacy UAD-1 DSP Accelerator devices. Please note that your UAD-1 card(s) will continue to work exactly the same as it always has; but you will no longer be able to install future UAD software.
Although we have not introduced a new UAD-1 plug-in for more than two years, owners of mixed “UAD-1-and-UAD-2” systems will soon have to decide whether to download future UAD-2 software containing new plug-ins, or to stay at their “pre-6.2” software version to retain UAD-1 compatibility.
To make transitioning to UAD-2 easier, we will be offering a convenient UAD-1 Trade-In program through June 30th. This program will allow you to trade in your legacy UAD-1 or UAD-1e with your dealer, and receive an instant credit of $200 each toward the purchase of a new UAD-2 PCIe card or UAD-2 Satellite FireWire unit. Details to follow in the coming days.
I hope that you will choose to join us on the UAD-2 platform in 2012, as we transition to 64-bit architecture and unveil several groundbreaking new plug-ins. But whether you choose to upgrade your UAD-1 or not, please know that we sincerely appreciate your past and present support. We could not have built this platform without you.
