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.

there are some decent freeamp sims out there, notably LePou and AcmeBarGig...however prob the amp which is closest in sound to the one you want that i've heard is the White model in guitar Rig. 
at least if you go with Amplitude you can use the custom shop to audition different amps. Personally, i have GR4 and Amplitude metal and i use LePou far more than Amplitude...

My POD Farm 2 Platinum is on my iLok.  I upgraded my PC about 2 years ago and except for the Line 6 "License Manager" that I had to install and run, I haven't had any problems.  POD Farm is a VST2 plug-in, in Sonar.  I have a POD X3 but just use the POD Farm as a Sonar plug-in.

I've had Line 6 GearBox/PodFarm (all the expansion packs) for years and years and I keep my UX2 connected as a dongle for the plugs. Truth to be told, the only Line 6 plug I ever load these days is the PodFarm Tuner module, which I like. Still keep the UX2 connected in case I should open some old project with those plugs.
 
Seems to me Line 6 have dropped out of the studio/plugin race and are concentrating on live performance with their wireless systems and floorboard FX. I still enjoy my Variax 300 in my studio though!

I just finished a CD project for a local singer - traditional country music.  I hadn't used the POD farm much but I did on this project.
 
I used the POD Farm on the lead guitar (a Strat).  I ran the Strat through the POD X3 with the Brad Paisley Tone direct.  The guitar player didn't really like that as he uses an old 60's Pro Reverb.  I used the Tweed amp model with two 12" speakers and got the tone nearly identical to his live tone.  I used the Echoplex model for delay. 
 
I also used the POD Farm Bass amp modeling for the Bass and even the POD Farm spring reverb for my Pedal Steel Guitar (it was recorded direct and dry).
 
The singer is getting good reviews of his CD project.

They have some awesome tones and it has been my go to plugin for guitar and bass.
 
I was using the AC30 model for my tone, I can get the tone from my laney with a bit of fiddling around.
 
I quite like the look of GR5 but its quite pricey. Which at the moment is out of my reach until next pay day.
 
I find TH2 hard to get the tone I want its still an amazing plugin though especially for metal.
 
I like amplitude 3 have been using it on the new tune we are working on, its good that they let you trial the amp models before buying them. I've been abusing the Orange models a lot.

I was kind of in the same position a few years ago. When I first got the UX2, I also upgraded to "the gold bundle" I sold the UX2 years ago but not the expansion. I forgot about it for a few years. A few years ago I logged onto my Line 6 account and seen the gold bundle in my account and wrote their support to see if I could get an ilock version. The gold bundle was discontinued so they gave me a native ilock version of the old Pod farm 32bit and the upgrade to pad farm platinum. I had to buy the basic pod farm 2 to have the platinum 64 bit plugs though. 
 I can't complain about the treatment I got from line 6 support, you may want to check your account to see if there is an upgrade path for you.
In many mix situations, I find the line 6 plugs more useful at times because there are separate smaller modules like "Line 6 dynamics"  "Line 6 reverb"....  Nice not having to launch the whole rig just for an effect. The de-eser is one my favorites... 
If I'm looking for a vintage creamy or jangly tone like Orange or Fender, I go for Amplatube or S-Gear. If I'm looking for metal tones, I seem to get what I'm looking for faster with Pod farm. GR5...I'm still pretty indifferent to.

Bump for Pod Farm, especially the Platinum suite.
 
I downloaded a warez crack activator before paying for the program, so have no issues with authorization. Me and Line 6 are on level playing field in this regard.
 
Missing element for me is the stereo (or lack of...) rendering. Plugs are mono unfortunately. As good as they are, they are still mono. Can still chain some stereo vst after the fact to get right left spread ambiance.
 
They have a lite version for free, worth the download. The reverbs are nice. Check out  their free "Cavernous" reverb.

I have a POD, updated to a POD II. They dropped all support for it. I didn't appreciate it especially since I bought a UX-2, subscribed to their Toneport Onoine that didn't make it, bought a Flextone and a Flextone III Plus. You'd think there would be some sort of customer appreciation.
I actually came on here to post a question about the Amplifi amp, to see if anyone has one, how is it, can I configure it (or two of them) to use as an A/V system. It is an interesting concept, if it works and if they don't abandon it down the road. I like my Mark V but it isn't always the answer. Sometimes something like the Flextone (or possibly an Amplifi) looks like a GREAT solution for sitting in the "big chair" and playing along with the music channels on TV, or Palladia or something... if it works well and if they don't leave me holding the bag.
I need to check to see if my POD Farm and POD Farm II work with my UX-2 anymore. I'll delete them if they don't.
 
Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but not much came up..
 
SO... does anyone have an Amplifi? Do you like it?

I thought PodFarm was the most realistic and got me to the sounds I needed in the most painless way. So it has a great place in my heart.

But once I got into Amplitube there was no turning back. The realistic sounds, the intuitive interface, and the "current ness" of the software are strong. It's my go to, without looking back.

One note of high praise for Line 6. Even though I have a Focusrite Scarlett (which is great), I use a Line 6 KB-37 for my audio input when recording electric guitar. I have the best "no" latency experience with that device. Better than the Scarlett for sure.
