Unable to Connect?

If third-party software is interfering with the UJAM App, you might run into issues when downloading, installing or activating a plug-in. In some rare cases, the UJAM App is blocked completely which then looks like this:

1st Level Troubleshooting

• Always keep your app up-to-date and use the latest version (download here).
• Check your Antivirus settings:
  1. Sometimes, antivirus software can be a little overzealous and block apps it shouldn't. Look for any settings related to application control or network access and see if UJAM is listed. If it is, make sure it's set to allow network access.
  2. You can also try temporarily disabling your antivirus software to see if that solves the problem.
• Disable your Firewall temporarily:
  1. On most systems, you can do this by going into your computer's settings, finding the 'Firewall & network protection' section, and then temporarily turning off the firewall.
  2. After you've done this, try launching the UJAM software again and see if the problem persists.
• Check your Internet Settings:
  1. Some software has issues with certain types of internet connections.
  2. If you're using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it to see if that solves the problem.
• Run as administrator and make sure to enter your system password when asked (sometimes the window might pop up somewhere in the background)
• Grant all the required permissions in your system settings
• Close your DAW before installing or uninstalling plugin software

2nd Level Troubleshooting

1. Try to fully quit the UJAM App in the taskbar and then relaunch the UJAM App.
   • Mac:
     
     
     
     • On macOS you may need to terminate the UJAM processes running in the background via Activity Monitor:
       
   • Windows:
     
     
2. Try to sign out and sign back in.
3. Make sure you have admin access and grant all the requested permissions during the installation process.
4. Use your main local drive and make sure you have enough disc space available.
5. Don't use special characters for your download- and VST folder names.
6. Try deleting the UJAM App from your system and reinstall.

• Put also compatibility mode to Windows 7
• Select a writable folder on your system drive (C:)
• Try to change the selected VST2 folder location in the UJAM App settings to C:\Program Files (x86) and then back to the default folder C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins(this works for some users).
