About deauthorizing the computer/Ignition Key
You can have one computer and one Ignition Key authorized at a time. If you're moving your work from an
authorized computer to another computer, you should first deauthorize the current computer and then
authorize the other one. This is done from your account page at the Reason Studios web site:
1. Log in on your currently authorized computer and go to your own "Products" page under
the user menu.
2. Click the Authorize button.
On the page that is shown, there should be a Deauthorize button next to the computer icon.
3. Click the Deauthorize button next to the computer icon to remove the authorization from
your computer.
If you are using an authorized Ignition Key instead of an authorized computer, you can just move the
Ignition Key from your old computer to your new one.
! Remember to deauthorize your computer before updating the Operating System or be-
fore sending your computer to service or selling it!
Running Reason on an authorized computer - or with an
authorized Ignition Key
If you launch Reason on an authorized computer, or with an authorized Ignition Key (Reason Studios USB
stick) connected, the program will simply start without further ado.
q If you are using an Ignition Key on an unauthorized computer, always connect the Igni-
tion Key before starting your computer and launching Reason. This way Reason will start
up immediately, without the Authorization procedure.
If you have an authorized computer, or an authorized Ignition Key connected to your computer, it’s no
longer necessary to have Internet connection when running Reason.
