there's no difference which one you buy... once you buy it, it will belong to your account and you can use it anyway you see fit.

another note... you can also buy a pod farm standard license to achieve hardware independence... platinum is not required....

probably not something you want, since you indicated a desire for the model packs... but someone may appreciate that note.

So, I should buy the Platinum upgrade for my UX1 or for computer? Is there really any difference?

it's only hardware independent... if you buy the pod farm 2.5+ license independent of hardware....

if it's included with your UX1... the UX1 owns the license not you... and therefore... no UX1 = no license....

but yes, if you paid for the upgrade to plainum independently... you would have a hardware independent license.

Hey, I got the Studio UX1 not too long ago, and Pod Farm is great. However, I saw that Pod Farm 2.5 is now supposed to be hardware independent, meaning I should be able to use it regardless of what interface I'm using, in case I decide to upgrade in the future. However, mine doesn't seem to have that option. Therefore, whenever I try to mix one of my projects, I only hear the dry guitar signal unless I have the UX1 connected. This is a pain because I only have 1 free USB port, which I use to access my external drive with the projects saved on it. I did buy the UX1 secondhand off of eBay, however, so does that have anything to do with Pod Farm being independent, because I am not the original license owner?

Also, I'm planning on upgrading to Platinum soon. If I buy the Platinum upgrade, will I receive a new license which will then enable me to run Pod Farm without the UX1? If not, I'll probably end up buying the model packs, seeing as that is cheaper.

Thanks!
