To be able to run Reason in authorized mode (see “Running Reason on an authorized computer - or with
an Ignition Key hardware” and “Running Reason with Internet Verification”), the program must be
registered to your account on the Propellerhead web site.
! If you purchased Reason directly from the Propellerhead web site, the Reason license
has already been registered to your user account and you can use Reason by authorizing
your computer or by running with Internet Verification.
If you have purchased the optional Ignition Key (USB stick) you will want to authorize it, so please read
on!

your optional Ignition Key hardware or do it later. If you click the Later button, you will still be able to
run Reason using Internet Verification, see “Running Reason with Internet Verification”.
