I initially thought it was the same processor/hardware etc but the 300/400 still don't have input impedence afer the latest update! I thinking cracking will be an issue once POD FARM HD is released. AT some point they will release models packs and cracking would be relevant to those but ouside of personal computers and MACS,craking doesn't seem to be an issue! Iphones and androids have thousands of paid apps and I don't think the users will trust or use cracked apps on their phones, so I doubt that guitar players would ever trust using a crack if it should ever exist on their RP500 or 300/400 to crack a model pack.
Really is there a POD Farm HD coming?
Well that should be interresting..
Is it beacuse of that they give everyone who buy a Pod HD 300 & 400 get a Pod Farm 2.5 premium plugin for free?
Maybe it was just to see if they can use Pod HD as a harware dongle like they did with some old Pod and audio interfaces.

you can still do an offline activation... (i've not done it) but yes it's done through the license manager.
licenses are tied to your line6 account now, rather than the hardware... (purchased licenses)
the exception of course is "included" licenses...
any factory installed licenses still belong to the hardware.

Thanks for the info!!
I got Pod Farm to work "offline" without using my XT as a dongle
All i had to do was search for a file on my internet computer after i had runned the license manager.
I think it is really crappy from Line6 s.c support.
As i have discussed this topic with a Line6 support member when i asked for another topic i mention several times that i dont want my XT as dongle on my studio computer that doesnt have an internet connection and he did even sent it to another s.c expert.
And non of them said to me that i could do an offline activation so i dont need my XT as "dongle" anymore

GET IT WHILE ITS HOT..... released.
POD HD500 Flash Memory v2.1 RELEASE NOTES
POD HD500 Flash Memory v2.1 is a FREE firmware update that is highly recommended for all POD HD500 users.
What’s New? POD HD500 2.1 includes five new HD guitar amp models and integration support for L3t, L3m, and L3s speakers over L6 LINK.- “Solo 100 Clean”, “Solo 100 Crunch”, and “Solo 100 Overdrive” HD Guitar Amp Models Three new HD guitar amp models based on* the Clean/Crunch and Overdrive channels of the classic, hand-built Soldano® SLO100 Super Lead Overdrive 100-watt head.
- “Line 6 Doom” and “Line 6 Epic” HD Guitar Amp Models Two new, Line 6 original HD guitar amp models with lots of gain on tap. Line 6 Doom delivers maximum sludge by combining a Marshall® JCM800 preamp and Hiwatt® Custom 100 power amp with some additional tweaks. Line 6 Epic provides sustain for days at virtually any playing dynamic, giving up gobs of distortion with ease. Play with the Master Volume parameter to experience the true versatility of these amps.
- StageSource Speaker Support The update also enables POD HD Pro and POD HD500 to integrate with StageSource loudspeakers in revolutionary new ways. You can instantly recall StageSource Smart Speaker modes via POD HD presets, making StageSource and POD HD Pro or HD500 the ultimate integrated FRFR (Full Range Flat Response) guitar system. You can switch from a full-range acoustic sound for the verse to a dialed-in 2 x 12” guitar cabinet for the chorus—with just the press of a footswitch. You can also change to Keyboard mode for dramatic guitar synth soundscapes. Add multiple StageSource speakers via L6 LINK for stereo effects configuration, wet/dry/wet setups, and more.

I used a support ticket about 1 months ago (sep 4) about using POD HD Desktop as a hardware dongle so i could sell my XT as i only keep it as a dongle for the Pod Farm plugin.

you can't use pod hd as a dongle, so if they told you that it was correct... you also can't transfer a license that came with an XT....
however if it's pod farm 2 (which never ever came free with an xt anyway) and you paid extra for it, you should be able to authorize your computer for use with no dongle.

Yes i know that you cant use pod hd as a donglle!!
But as i have used my XT as a dongle for Pod Farm for atleast 3 years or so (and didnt know that i could use it whitout my XT)
And i did see that offer buy a POD HD 300 and get POD FARM for free i thought they must have started to use hd as dongle for pod farm so i wrote and ask them if it was any plan for having all hd product as a dongle so i could sell my xt as i only keep it beacuse i use it as a dongle.
I got a responce pretty quick (from england support group) but he didnt understand and sent it to another person
So i mention it again and explained clearly that i think its crap that i have to use my xt as a dongle if you can use pod hd 300 as a dongle i also asked if those who bought that deal will get an ilook usb dongle if they didnt have any plans to use the pod hd.
Got another response same answer no plan and no ilook but NOTHING about that you could use pod farm without my xt as a dongle.
A third respons but nothing about using pod farm without my xt (which took a user here at forum maybe 3 seconds to figure out.. wonder what Line6 support people have been smoking?)
And yes i first got pod farm 1 for free as i own a pod xt but i bought v 2 later on
But i didnt know that you could transfer the licens you get via license manager software to an offline computer so i used my xt for that later on when i bought my hd i whished i could use that as dongle and sell my xt so i could get some extra space on my studio desk.
That is what i think it is crappy from Line6 support group they should have told me in the first place that i dont need my XT anymore
Just run licens manager on your internet computer transfer that file to your offline computer and put it in the right dir and of you go.
But not a word about that only that you cant use pod hd as a dongle.
I guess i am a special case nowadays as i use an offline computer as my studio computer most users have internet connection nowadays but i fell i got disturbed when i hooked up to internet i so easely can go to a forum like this and chat with people instead of making music
