Authorization
If you own a product license but you can't activate the plug-in by entering your ujam credentials, please continue reading this article.
Please make sure...
- ...that the respective plug-in license is actually linked to your ujam account (you might see a "no internet connection" error message after entering your correct credentials if that's not the case)
- ...to temporarily switch off any kind of software that might interfere with the installation or block the internet connection of the plug-in (Firewalls, Antivirus software, ...) or else you will see a "no internet connection" error message.
- ...to enter the correct credentials (email address and password you use to log in to your ujam account).
- ...to not use a coupon code/ serial number/ license key for activating the plug-in
Here are a few things you can do:
1. Does the plug-in have internet access?
You need to be online to authorize your plugin. Please make sure, that your local antivirus software and firewall don't block the plug-in or the DAW. Check this carefully, as third party software is the most common reason why a user can't authorize the plug-in with the ujam credentials.
If you don't have the option to go online with your studio computer, please have a look at this article.
2. Reset your password & check your license!
Can you login on ujam.com/my-account? If so, please check your licenses and reset your password. If not, you can reset your password here and try to authorize with the new password one more time.
Please try using a password without any special characters!
3. Does the installed version fit your license?
Please make sure, you have the right plug-in version installed. Just to give an example: We heard from some users that they have a license for a Virtual Drummer Version 2 but for some reason have a Virtual Drummer Version 1 installed. You can check the version on your computer by clicking on the small (i) icon.
If you have the wrong version installed, please get the right installer from: https://www.ujam.com/my-account/
4. Deinstall and Reinstall
We've heard of some user who were able to authorize their plug-in after following these instructions:
- Make sure to turn off any kind of firewall of antivirus software that might interfere with the installation process or the plug-in itself.
- Try to use the default locations during the installation process
- You may want to check out our DAW knowledge base and rescan your plug-ins

5. Still struggling to authorize?
Please send us your .ops file! Go to the following location and find it:
MS WINDOWS:
A. Go to
{SYSDRIVE}:/USERS/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/UJAM/
B. Copy & send us one of your .ops file (e.g. VG-IRON.ops)
You will need to Show Hidden Folders in File Explorer Options in order to access the hidden library as shown in this quick video tutorial: ↓
Step 1
Show Hidden Files under (Control Panel)
Step 2
Activate in (File Explorer Options) the show hidden files option
Apple macOS:
A) In the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder from the menu. (or use Shift+Command+G)
B) Type “~/Library/Application Support/UJAM”.
C) Copy & send us one of your .ops file (e.g. VG-IRON)
Or watch this quick video tutorial to find the .ops files on MAC: ↓
-
Provide us with your e-mail address
-
Send the .ops file as an attachment
-
Wait for us to send back the authorized .ops
-
Replace your old .ops file with the one we sent you
-
Enjoy the plug-in!

Had logging in and authorisation problems which repeatedly rejected my credentials.
The workaround was to re set a new password without any special characters for authorisation,but keep
the original registered password for account logging in.
I now have two passwords,one for each instance !
However,following several attempts to figure out a solution,I did get there eventually.
Perhaps further attention from the team may help future customers.
Best Wishes to All.
