I'm getting ready to ditch my old Toneport ux2 USB 1.1 interface for something with less latency and pops and clicks (already done all the optimization steps).  I have a cross grade offer for Pod Farm 2.5 Platinum and am trying to decide between the Device Independent license and the ilok one.  To my mind that's what ilok is, a portable license you can move between DAWs and use with any interface device.  Aside from the added cost of purchasing an ilok device, what's the difference between these two licenses?  Couldn't I get the same benefit from putting my license key in the cloud (or line 6 Monkey for that matter) and using it from any computer I'm on at the moment?  I tried to look for an explanation of these two models on the line 6 site as well as the forums, but couldn't.

Thanks in advance for any help.
