1. Launch Reason.
When you start Reason for the first time, this window is displayed:
2. Click on the “Go to your account page” link.
Your default web browser starts up and takes you to the Login page at the Propellerhead web site.
3. Enter your user name and password and log in on your Propellerhead account.
If you don't have an account already, click on the "Create account" link and follow the instructions to register a
new account.

If you purchased the boxed version of Reason and haven't registered the program, you will be asked to do that:
D Enter the license number and registration code found on the DVD sleeve in the Reason box, then click the Reg-
ister button.
A new web page appears where you are asked if you want to write your license to your computer or to your op-
tional Ignition Key hardware or do it later. If you click the Later button, you will still be able to run Reason using In-
ternet Verification, see “Running Reason with Internet Verification”.
When you have registered Reason and want to write your license to your computer or Ignition Key:
D Click the Authorize button.
This will take you to the “Authorize Computer and Keys” page where you can choose to write your Reason license
to your computer, to your optional Ignition Key and/or to a connected Balance interface.
5. Follow the instructions on the web page to write your licence to your computer or to your Ignition Key.
6. When you're done, Reason will restart automatically, and you will now be able to run the program in Autho-
rized Mode.
You can now quit the web browser if you like.
About deauthorizing the computer
You can authorize one computer at a time. If you're moving your work to another computer, you can first deauthrorize
the current computer and then authorize the other one. This is done from your account page at the Propellerhead
web site.
! Remember to deauthorize your computer before sending it to service or selling it!
