If you are using an authorized Ignition Key or Propellerhead Balance audio interface instead of an
authorized computer, you can just move the Ignition Key/Propellerhead Balance 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 hardware
If you launch Reason on an authorized computer, or with an authorized Ignition Key hardware
(Propellerhead USB stick or Propellerhead Balance audio interface) 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 hardware before starting your computer and launching Reason. This way Rea-
son will start up immediately, without the Authorization procedure.
If you have an authorized computer, or an authorized Ignition Key hardware connected to your computer,
it’s no longer necessary to have Internet connection when running Reason.
