Their webpage also states UAD is compatible with the several DAWs listed, and Sonar is among them.

Also, I noticed the "Sonar Compatibility" check box is no longer present which may mean they have included the necessary updates in 6.4.0.


Sorry wst3, I must of missed your post! 

From the website:
UAD Powered Plug-Ins are compatible with VST, RTAS, and Audio Units host applications, and are widely used with a variety of major DAW software — including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Live, Sonar, and more.
However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs — and our own rigorous testing standards — Universal Audio officially tests and qualifies UAD v6.4.0 software only with Avid Pro Tools 10 (32-bit) and Steinberg Cubase 6 (64-bit).
FAQ: Does this mean that my DAW is not supported?
A: We can only fully qualify so many DAW applications, and generally any VST, RTAS or Audio Units-compliant host application should work with UAD plug-ins. Also, any ASIO or Core Audio-compliant application should work with Apollo. That said, if you are experiencing issues with your UAD or Apollo on a DAW that we don't list as qualified, you can still contact tech support and log the issue with us. We absolutely want to know if something is not working for you, we have great relationships with all DAW manufacturers and will continue to work with them to understand why an issue is occurring.
Please contact technical support for any specific questions.

Understandable. Most definitely. "Unsupported" is not true. They just use those two platforms to test their software as best they can. I'm a web developer, I understand their pain haha

Yeap!

This is interesting.  I have toyed with buying the UAD card, but it has never been a top priority.  As many VST issues as I have with my installation, maybe this should slip down the list for me for a while.  I was mainly interested in the 1176LN and LA2A emulations, but not sure I need them badly enough to spend the money and go through the hassle.
 
But check these prices and you will see why people buy the card and plug-ins:
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LA2A/
 
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/1176LN/
 
You are looking at $6,000 USD to buy one each of the outboard hardware devices. 
 

The issue with me here is like the OP I have some UAD-1 cards, we actually have one of our computers that does not have extra pci-e(x) whatever slots so we still actually use the UAD-1 card (pci)...and I also use the PCI-x card...

HOWFRIKKINEVER...UAD is obviously NO LONGER SUPPORTING UAD-1 which means I cannot run my plug-ins if I update (this is a fact I have tried it, since there is no UAD-2 card none of my paid for plug-ins are even available on 6.4)

I don't expect a company to support every DAW out there, but I do frikking expect them to support heir own hardware cards...

The fact that I cannot run my paid for plugs on the new version software is complete crapola and I am considering what courses of action I can take.

And before people start pontificating about writing code and etc, the clincher is they are still suing the sharc processor, so this is not about "advancing hardware" it is purely a BS business decision to force people into the newer cards...same friggin chip, just newer package...I suggest UAD days are numbered...

It would be interesting to see what some group like anonymous could do with a useless UAD-1 card...

When my UAD-1 cards stopped working, I spent $149 on the Waves CLA Compressor Bundle (it includes the LA2A & two versions of the 1176) and I like them equally to how I remember my UAD-1 versions.  Between the new plugins in SONAR and the new Waves stuff I just bought, I feel like I have found suitable replacements for all of my old, go-to UAD powered plugins.  I really don't think I'm going to miss them too much.

Good point Dan, and actually the new Sonar LA2A is really close to the UAD stuff, the difference is UAD spent a little more time making theirs distorted (much like the real unit)...like you I will be recommending people AWAY from UAD.

  I certainly agree it was a bad move for UAD to do what they did to the UAD-1 cards. I don't even see the warning on the download page anymore, warning that the new drivers permanently disable UAD-1's. So the OP here unknowingly just killed his card with their driver and lost all his UAD investment if he doesn't buy a UAD-2?  
 I can't think of a reason that UAD would need to include something in their driver that permanently disables older hardware versions and I can't think of any other company ever doing this. I find that a particularly de****able business move.
