So basically I've bought a new audio interface I now have a Focusrite scarlett which has replaced my ux2 which died a sad death, went to load pod farm 2 and its now saying I can't use it as my hardware isn't registered to the software.
 
To use pod farm they are now requesting that I pay nearly £100.
 
Any advice on how to get around this as this is holding me up?
 
P.S sorry to sound a bit ranty!

Dangars,

Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. Funny, I to bought a Scarlett 8i6... Liked it so much that I bought one of the smaller Scarlett's as well for a more portable laptop unit. I had a UX1 and a free copy of POD Farm that came with the unit. Apparently, because it is free, Line 6 feels you did not pay for a license to POD Farm. Maybe you will have better luck than I did, I didn't fight it to hard. It peeved me off enough that I just decided to switch brands and I went the Amplitube 3 direction instead. For me, A3 turned out to be a better sounding amp sim anyway and I have not looked back. The only way I would return to Line 6 products at this point, would be if I ever decided to get a POD HD500.

That what I thought was happening,
 
found a work around though basically plugged my old ux2 in (although the jacks are dead) set up pod farm as a plug in and now i have access to pod farm. I'm not to keen on a redundant piece of equipment on my work area.
 
I have amplitude 3 but its the one I got with x1 essential when i first started out, have guitar 5 but its the free version also have th1 thriode as well as th2 sonar. I'm really struggling to find that mid 90's oasis styled sound that my band have. I can get the tone out of my amp but need to save up for a decent mic to record using that.

If you can run them simultaneously I've got a line6 dongle/interface going unused (for years). If that would solve your problem, PM me and we'll discuss.

...I've got a line6 dongle/interface going unused (for years). If that would solve your problem...

I suspect that this might not work, as the software licensing seems to be tied to specific hardware.  I have 2 line6 devices and the PodFarm stuff only works with my GX1, not my UX2, which pre-dates PodFarm.

Welp...I wouldn't have a clue. Just tryin to help a feller out.

I have a dongle, Pod XT, as well. It had it's use but I haven't used it in years.

My approach to this is different, as said elsewhere... Accept reprimand from those on a higher moral ground, but it won't change my heathen ways.
 
Have Pod Farm Platinum, paid for, legal and have had authorizations dumped without even major changes in hardware configuration. Win 7 laptop unregistered the program 3 times for whatever flaw. Pain in the forkin' chalumbas.
 
Quick and easy fix. Fired up Frostwire torrent client and downloaded a solid warez crack for Pod Farm 2 Platinum. Line 6 corporate and their paranoid activation ransom can crash to hell and back for all I care. I have no worry about reauthorizing the program I paid for. My opinion as well that Pod Farm is cool. Some incredible sounds as you spin the carousel, mix and match, build presets. Neglected and under the radar for how good it is.
 
There is no excuse in my microcosm for using pirated software. Too dumb and ignorant to judge others, but my computer is legitimate, conscience clean, just backed up by illegal cracks if and when needed.
 
Not twisting your arm to look into the dark side to get free from the issues you should not be having to deal with, but... Works for me and I can sleep with myself okay. Just sayin'  If more developers could be like Cake, digital universe would be so much less convoluted and perverted.
 
Hope you get the thing working, because you deserve to get it working, immediate and no charge.

I've searched the web and it seems to be a common issue for people who have bought their hardware and then upgraded.
 
You would think they would let you transfer the license over to your new hardware especially when we have already forked out for their gear before.
 
Thanks for all the help though guys I always forget what a friendly forum this is.

I was looking at line 6 amplifi and seeing if this could be tied to model packs, amp farm etc. Found out it is completely unrelated and would not be able to take advantage of all the money spent so far with line 6. So I passed.

Someday when my XT dies, I will be scrambling too.

Lately I use guitar rig 5 the most.

If you can afford Komplete.....do it!
