*For POD Farm Elements Plug-Ins: You’ll see these appear as 11 individual Plug-Ins within

your DAW host’s Plug-In menus, titled “POD Farm Guitar Amps,” “POD Farm Delays,” etc.

You have some options during the POD Farm 2 installation to tell the Plug-Ins where to install, but if

you did not dene a custom location, here is the default install location for each of the POD Farm 2

Plug-In formats.

Activating the Plug-In

Like most audio software Plug-Ins, POD Farm 2 requires the purchase of a license to allow all

components to be fully functional on your computer. This license can be added to your Line 6 hardware,

or an existing iLok USB key, and then “activated” for your use. Once the POD Farm 2 installation

is completed, if your POD Farm 2 Plug-In launches with the following “No Authorized Device” alert

message, it either means you neglected to connect the Line 6 USB hardware or iLok key for which you

purchased your POD Farm 2 license, or that you still need to “activate” your license.

POD Farm 2 Plug-In No Authorized Device detected alert

Note that POD Farm 2 Plug-In will still load as an insert in your DAW project in this unauthorized

state, but it will not process any of your DAW’s audio in this state. But at least you can click around in

the Plug-In and see all the cool stuff you are missing.
