Why does SW trust RME users, but not Universal Audio users? :)

I have a genuine question about the different SoundID Reference hardware integrations.

With supported RME interfaces, users can export their calibration profiles to the hardware DSP and continue using them without SoundID Reference periodically launching for licence verification.

Sonarworks even describes this approach as “Calibrate, export, and forget.”

With Universal Audio Apollo X, however, SoundID Reference must remain installed and is automatically launched for licence verification whenever UAD Console starts, after a reboot, and every 24 hours.

Both are professional audio interfaces, both use hardware DSP, and both rely on Sonarworks calibration technology.

So why the difference?

Does Sonarworks trust RME hardware to retain a legitimately exported calibration profile, but not Universal Audio hardware? :)

Or is this simply the result of different commercial or licensing arrangements between Sonarworks and the two manufacturers?

I'm genuinely curious about the reasoning behind this distinction, because from a customer's perspective, the Apollo implementation seems unnecessarily restrictive.

I'd be interested to hear an official explanation.
