POD Farm loses Addons (registered with UX2) as VST while having iLok (free POD Farm) connected

Well... I just tought it would be nice to have the (free) POD Farm offer on the iLok so I can use some of the basic POD Farm Apms on second computer mixing and jamming with another soundcard stuff while having the UX2 permanently connected on my main computer.

 

I knew it would not enable all bought model packs (more about that later in this text) BUT what I did not expected was that the VST Version of POD Farm now always selects the iLok instead of the UX2 as auth. device! Which means I can either not put the license on the iLok.. or have to unplug the iLok when adding the POD Farm VSTs and plug it in later to add the VSTs which need the iLok... As there are more licenses on the iLok I can't just leave it unplugged! And this just works "once" ... can't load any projects that way!


Here is the Question: How can I use the bought expension Packs bound to UX2 while having the free POD Farm license on my iLok?

 

BTW: It is pretty lame and a bad move guys to not allow the transfer of the bought licenses to the iLok version! I understand that you can not do this easily... because if somebody transfers it to the iLok he could bought new ones for his UX2 .. Which would basically open up a second "trade" channel for the Extension Packs for iLok POD Farm users... BUT! You could set it up in a way that the License gets into a locked state on the UX2 (installed but not useable) if you transfer the packs to the iLok.. or just sell all upgrade packs also to iLok only users!!

 

I own different Stuff (Variax, UX2, Packs) from your company.. Worth arround $1000+ ... I am even considering a LIVE X3 and or an Acoustic Variax but that stuff made me think a bit... I guess a lot people will feel like me... It is one thing to get your promo running.. but to make my already bought stuff harder to use... and keep me from using the bought packs with the iLok
