Hello

Thanks for the reply though you don’t totally understand what I was doing here. I have 5 different computers, PC and Mac... With the UX1 attached to only one of them. The rest would require Ilok.

Your answer pointed me more in the right direction for further tests though... At this point I think it is the Ilok itself causing the problem. I deinstalled podfarm again on two of the systems. I think the major contributing factor in difficulties before (having podfarm ask to select a driver) is because until you said NOT to use “Monkey”, anything done via Monkey would install with hardware driver and force me to select a device, connected or not... And of course Ilok was not on the list of choices.

So I downloaded podfarm manually from the website and was able to install JUST the Ilok option this time, rather than any hardware driver. This helped... So I got the podfarm plugin to show up for the first time in my sequencers, when it was not doing so before. I also had not heard previously that you could only use the hardware version in standalone mode, and the Ilok install as a plugin only... That is kind of dumb and confusing when every other manufacturer has either mode. That is also what lead to some confusion.

Now after getting the software installed properly it would seem, I now suspect that what is going wrong and preventing authorization is the Ilok itself! I had thought everything was properly transferred from both Line6 and Ilok site, but it appears not.

Line6 site says Ilok license has been “completed”. When I click on “see all licenses”, the line6 site displays a white page (attached). So while it says completed, there is no serial listed on the “see all licenses page” though I am not positive yet something should be there... I am just guessing so. I think the license should have been sent to the Ilok site. According to Ilok.com that has happened.

So moving onto the Ilok site:

It says “found Iloks” so it SEES the device, but not an authorization on it. I have used the update / synchronize button to deposit that authorization. Despite that, when I then run the Podfarm plugin in a couple of different computers (both PC) via Cubase, podfarm boots up and says that there is no license found on the Ilok! But as you can see from my screenshots, it appears that the whole process went through.
