Mac Sonoma M3 - Anyone stuck on "Allow" and can't install UAD?

[Baskervils]

I think this must be a common issue, but the support pages aren't helping and UAD support hasn't replied.

I can't get the Mac System Settings to "Allow" the UAD software (the main one that authenticates plugins).

I followed web instructions and restarted. Allow options never appeared.

I uninstalled per UAD instructions, including remove preferences, reinstalled and again, the option to "Allow" never materialized.

Has anyone found the workaround for this?

Did you follow all of these steps during installation?

I had no problem installing on my M3 with Sonoma. Aside from following the web instructions, as mentioned previous did you do a clean install on your M3 unit or did you run the migration utility? If you used the migration utility, even more so from an Intel unit, you might have to do some cleaning up.

Thanks! I did not see this page. It worked.

I uninstalled and reinstalled UAD again, followed the steps in the video / instructions and no problems.

I did use Apple Migration from Intel to Silicon. Mostly it was smooth, but...

1) i had to manually bring my library and playlists back after the iTunes / Music changeover
2) I had to manually copy Fabfilter prefs over.
3) I had to deactivate Plugin Alliance plugs on my old computer
4) UAD was a fail until this forum - Thanks All!

Glad you are up and running.

Yeah, sometimes you have to be careful with the migration utility. I found it to be very sloppy at times and on my previous devices created numerous iCloud issues that stumped some of the senior engineers at Apple. Some of them didn’t go away until I got the M3 unit and EOL’d my 12 year old laptop.

Thanks! I am sorry to hear about all of your headaches with iCloud.

I may have lucked out, because I back up my sessions on Dropbox and not iCloud. I think iCloud was not 100% reliable when I first needed a backup, so Dropbox was one of few options, so I have been going with it ever since.

Hello to all.
I just bought a MBP 14" with m1 pro 8cpu and upgraded it to Sonoma 14.5 and later on installed the drivers using the steps written here https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/ar...D-Software-Compatibility-with-macOS-Sonoma-14 and still can't get the system to pop up the "allow" button in system preferences.
I also cannot erase / undo the UAD drivers installation :/

It was a fresh install - no migration assistants were being used.

Edit : at first I've installed the latest UAD version and was stuck at the step where I should click "allow" but later on instaled one version lower and i've managed to successfully install it!
