Hi--

I recently purchased a refurb UX2 and wanted to install it on my new MacBook Pro i7 2.5/16/512, but there is no CD/DVD drive for the software install and the only ports are Thunderbolt (USB-C). Any advice on getting my UX2 up & running with this computer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

The software (drivers) are easy, once you have the UX2 connected and registered with Line 6, as you can download them.  The bigger problem you have is only having a Thunderbolt port - you'll need to get an adapter (I assume someone makes one) that is USB2 to Thunderbolt,

I got a USB to USB-C adapter, DL'd & installed PodFarm, Monkey, License Manager & Updater, but it will not recognize or allow me to license or register PodFarm. Please don't tell me that Pod farm is an extra purchase not included with Pod Studio UX2. That would be beyond belief, considering that the packaging for PodStudio UX2 says "includes PodFarm, 23  guitar & bass amp models, 29 cab models, 6 mic pre amp models'. Please tell me they aren't expecting me to shell out another couple hundred bucks for PodFarm...

OK--turns out there is an issue with the MacOS High Sierra System Preferences/Security & Privacy that prevented the drivers from downloading despite having the setting set to allow DLs from Apple AND other developers, so I didn't have the drivers. There was a message at the bottom of that preference pane indicating that "Software from Line 6 was not installed", which can be over-ridden manually. Thanks to Line 6 for terrific support!

I followed what was shared here and got the drivers installed, thanks. But the toneport wont pick up any sound. My DAW recognizes the toneport now, but there is no sound and the levels don't recognize anything. I'm sure the monkey software was for engaging with the interface but it doesn't work on newer OS. So is there a work around for this? Anyone?

How do you know the DAW recognizes the Toneport? Have you added an audio track in your DAW and armed it for recording? Have you specified the appropriate Toneport USB Send channel as the Input Source for the track? Do you have your headphones/monitors connected to the Toneport (not your computer)?
