Running Reason in Demo Mode
If you don't have a Reason license, or if you're without both your Ignition Key hardware and a working Internet con-
nection, 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 or lose the Internet connection while running Reason with Internet Ver-
ification, the program will automatically enter Demo Mode. You can continue working, and save your songs as usual.
When you reconnect your Ignition Key hardware or reconnect to the Internet, Reason will automatically revert to au-
thorized mode and the Demo Mode alert will go out on the Transport Panel.
