Running Reason in Demo Mode
If you don't have a Reason license, or if you don’t have an authorized computer or your optional Ignition Key hardware
at hand and don’t have a working Internet connection, you can run Reason in Demo Mode:
1. Launch Reason.
The following window appears:
2. Click on the "Run in Demo mode" button.
Reason launches in Demo Mode.
The Demo Mode alert lights up to the left on the Transport Panel:
Running Reason in Demo Mode allows you to perform all operations as in Authorized Mode, with three exceptions:
• You cannot export audio or bounce mixer channels to disk.
• You will not have access to any Rack Extension devices.
• You cannot open songs.
The only songs that can be opened in Demo Mode are the dedicated demo songs (file extension ".rsndemo",
“.reedemo” and “.recdemo”). See “Opening a Reason Demo Song”.
If you disconnect your Ignition Key hardware on an unauthorized computer, or lose the Internet Connection while run-
ning Reason with Internet Verification, the program will automatically enter demo mode. You can continue to work,
and save your songs as usual. When you reconnect the Ignition Key hardware or reconnect to the internet, Reason
will automatically revert to authorized mode and the Demo Mode indicator will go off.
