Authorizing your Computer/Ignition Key (for off-line use)
! Note that a working Internet connection is required to be able to perform the following
steps.
1. Launch Reason.
When you start Reason the following window appears:
2. Click on the “More Options” link.
Your default web browser starts up and takes you to the More Options page on the Propellerhead web
site, where the whole authorization process is described in detail.
3. Follow the link on the web page to download and install Codemeter.
If you are updating from a previous version of Reason, you may already have Codemeter installed on
your computer. However, it's a good idea to download and install the latest version of the Codemeter
driver.
4. When done, return to the More Options page and click the Authorize Computer and Keys
link.
5. When you launch Reason again, you will be able to run the program in Authorized mode,
without having to log in.
You can now quit the web browser if you like.
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 deauthrorize the current computer and then
authorize the other one. This is done from your account page at the Propellerhead 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.
