free trial iLok PodFarm download misery

Hello,

I want to try the free 15 day trial Pod Farm for iLok.

So I've created an iLok account, downloaded the iLok software (on my intertet pc and on my main/cubase pc) and synchronized my iLok so that the Line6 license is on the iLok.

So far so good (I think). Next, I'm downloading the PodFarm Installer, version 1.11 (from the "free software downloads" page, product: iLok, software: podfarm, OS: windows xp), 113 MB. Again, everything seems allright. I'm activating the installer on my main pc, it start to do it's thing (just like the instructions video and guide).

When I try to "run" podfarm in Cubase, podfarm doesn't seem to be there. So I check C:\program files\line 6. There's nothing there (just 2 MB)!

I've tried downloading the software 4 times now, but it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Ger

PS- needless to say that my 15 day license is going to expire soon ...

here: C:\Program Files\Line6\POD Farm\VST\Line 6 should be a POD Farm.dll and that is the VST.

check out your Cubase manual, to help you find where you set in Cubase, a new location to look for VST/Plugins, as I think that's your issue.

Rowbi,

thanks for your reply. I wil certainly check Cubase again.

But I still think it might be the download. For instance the installer/icon is a line6 pod-logo.

But the icon on my pc-desk (from the installation) is a standard undefined windows thing. When I click it, it says that the item podfarm.exe is either moved or altered, in any case, it doesn't work.

I'm no computer-whiz and I'm sure it's something very obvious, but ....

thanks

Ger

Ger,

That does not sound right, as you should be able to launch the POD Farm software on your computer even without a Line 6 device.

I would recommend unisntalling all Line 6 software from your computer and re-downloading and installing on your computer. Please make sure to select installing POD Farm for iLok.

If you continue to have issues, please try downloading the software from another location to install onto your computer.

Regards,

Download the software from our software downloads page. It's in the red banner at the top of the page. Here's the link:

Hi, Im having the exact same problem, I downloaded Pod Farm 1.11, setup my iLok, but the installer file that I downloaded for Windows XP (for iLok) does not work, it is missing files, including the actual .exe file?
