Sorry, got mixed up, I meant Helix users. I don't see how that's equitable. The Helix user is just getting the software version of what they've already paid for. I bought hardware AND paid for a full software version that was abandoned by the manufacturer when every DAW went to AAX. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a cost to cross-grade, it's just that $299 is almost retail which is ridiculous, given the circumstances I've already outlined.

$299 cross-grade for registered POD Farm Platinum users. Ugg. I feel this is a bit of a slap in the face to get only a $49 discount on the retail price after only 2 years use of Platinum which cost $299, then not being able to use it for the last 2 years due to having to upgrade ProTools/Mac OS. I really left upgrading ProTools as long as possible, more than 2 years, so I could carry on using POD Farm I loved it so much! Every other plugin I have was ported for upgraded for AAX by the manufacturers for free or a nominal charge. On top of that, I had to buy an alternative to POD Farm so I could carry on recording which cost me more than $200. Amplitube (and Revalver, BIAS anything else you care to mention) is nowhere near as easy to use as POD Farm was and the sounds are only comparable if you buy the custom shop add ons. I used POD Farm for everything guitar and bass - I even used some of the EQ and FX for other things. I really miss it and I can't remix old stuff if I want without re-amping everything. Helix LT users get it for $99 so why not POD Platinum users?

Uhm...something that's less crappy than the previous system, but still crappy, is perhaps relatively better, but still a long way from cool. Plenty of other software/hardware companies can do it. Line6 plugin is the only one to ever cause me to cancel paying work, several times. If you knew I had a guitarport, you'd know it's old enough to have experienced all of Line6 attempts at authorisation via harware/monkey etc Yes, two devices might cause issues, but since one is the host computer - which is required to use GuitarPort - it really should work without issue. Thanks anyway for your post though, it really was fascinating, although of no use to me whatsoever.

Managed to fix it myself - well not fix it, but identify a bug in License Manager. It won't recognise POD Farm as authorised if I have my GuitarPort connected. I noticed on the video for Licence Manager the dude said "the really cool thing about Licence Manager....". Let me assure you, there is nothing cool about Licence Manager. Unless you think losing sessions to it's various idiosyncrasies is cool!

Hi, for some reason (I haven't installed or changed anything from one day to the next) POD Farm has decided it's not authorised and asks me to run license manager. When I do this, it says it's authorised on both Mac and GuitarPort, but won't give me any thru audio. I get the popup every time i open the plugin in ProTools. I am in the middle of a session and need to do guitars now. How can sort this quickly?
