Toneport DI - Gold vs iLok, How can I select which license to use

Hi
I own 3 PodFarm licenses (1xUx2, 1xTonport Gold, 1xiLok)
So the ilok version is the basic version, which i got when it was free, cause the toneport gold is annoying the hell out of me when traveling. Sadly I can't transfer my model packages to the ilok license.
But there's the horrible part: At home I have the toneport gold plugged in AND my ilok (due other licenses I need).
If I run PODFarm standalone I can get all my models (Gold). As soon as load the podfarm plugin in logic 9, it lists the iLok as authorized device. If I unplug the ilok it switches the DI-Gold, but as soon as I plug the ilok back in, it authorises of the ilok. (which reduces the number of amp models to min set)
So I need the ilok plugged for other purposes , but I still wanna use all the models.
How do I force the plug-in to the authorize of the dI-gold and let the ilok license in piece???
It is not helping if the pod farm plugin is automatically choosing the smallest license!
Or can I trade my basic ilok podfarm for ilok platinum and on the same token downgrade my DI-GOLD to silver - basically swap them ??
This is a Known "Bug"
One way to work around this would be to Transfer the Pod Farm iLok license to another iLok Key! (if you have 2 iLok keys?)
No I only have one ilok.
I think i'm gonna get rid of my line6 gear, it's just to often line6 stuff f**ks up. I have been with line6 since the first POD come out, but all their software stuff is really buggy and support is bad, support for new os takes ages.
e.g Waves, they charge quite a bit for the WUP, but in the end Leopard support or even snow leopard support was ready one month after release.
I own quite a few plugins from a range of vendors and the last couple of years line6 been on the bottom of the list in terms of bug fixes, support and quality.
Line6 hardware seems a bit better, but they should either get out of the software business or do it right.
I like they Line6 sounds quite a bit, but due to non functioning or user unfriendly cross-grade policy I ended up using it less and less.
My workflow now relays more and more on Guitar rig, GTR and even the logic internal amps do quite well.
So in the end I won't miss line6 sounds that much. It just a pity it has to end this way.
I mean I spend a lot of money in line6 gear and I really would like to use it, .. now and not in 2 years when might have come around fixed the bloody thing.
Once my transition from amp to software started with line6.
Anyway, I should stop whinging and get over it, there are enough alternatives.

You now have a POD Farm Platinum license, in the form of an upgrade. You activate it in the same way you did with the POD Farm standard license.
There is something to be aware of when downloading the license to your iLok: DO NOT use the trash icon as it will delete your Platinum license. Instead, use the Download to iLok button. Also, you must surrender the standard license to get the upgrade; this will happen automatically.
