Now that is all fine by me since the dongle is still stuck on my Desktop machine. You will still be able to keep your license on a USB key, too, if you have one, as well as use Internet Verification, if you have several computers you use Reason on. This way you can use Reason without being connected to the internet, or without a USB port taken up by the key. You can add your Reason, Reason Essentials and Rack Extension licenses to a single computer, for offline use. In Reason 7 and Reason Essentials 2 we’ve added a fourth way of authorizing the software. Since Reason 7 it doesn't require the dongle anymore (read the FAQ). Reason 5 along side of Reason 7īack to the laptop, I finally decided to install Reason 7 on my laptop too. From this point on I could never get Reason 6.5 up and running again. Reason 7 > C:/program files/propellerhead/reason 7/Īfter installing reason 7, it started to write down the license on my ignition key (which was probably the biggest mistake in this process). Reason 6.5 > C:/program files/propellerhead/reason/ Reason 4 > C:/program files (x86)/propellerhead/reason/ So initially the set up I went for goes like this: However, I felt like that the ignition key would throw dirt in my eyes. And skeptic as I was then, I would just do the same trick again. For those who want to know why I kept Reason 4, Reason 5 and Reason 6? Simple answer: I run a tutorial site that still supports Reason 4 and upwards. This is done because I was kind of getting tired of DJ-ing my way around to swap Reason versions. Just to clarify, I also have an additional laptop which solo runs Reason 5. So with that discovered, I could still hop around from Reason 4 to Reason 6. Which is fine by me, because in Reason 4 it would be "Next" > "Next" > "Next" > "No thank you I already have it Registered". Only "buggy" thing is that it launch the setup process. It bloody still works! And it didn't even ask me to insert the DVD again. Launching Reason 4 againĪfter stopping the Reason 6 process, I just launched Reason 4 again (without any reboots or anything like it). but I am not sure if this is going to work". Then all of a sudden I had a mail from an old friend of mine who wanted me to alter his Reason 4 track. Happy as I was back then, I launched Reason 6, played with The Echo, Pulveriser Demolition unit and so on. Lucky as I am, I could still use the same USB stick to upgrade from Record to Reason 6. That tiny little USB stick thingy that always needed to take up an additional USB port just to use a music program. So, with that thought going through my head, I just did it. While going through the installation process, I noticed that Reason 6 installed itself in a folder like "C:/program files/Propellerhead".įor those who have been using 64-bit machines, you will know that 32-bit applications on Windows will install itself under the folder "C:/program files(x86)/"īeing ignorant as I sometimes can be, I thought to myself, "I am not going to uninstall Reason 4, since I still need this from time to time to Collaborate". However, since Reason 6 came along, Record was not really my thing anymore. Record 1.0 was running next to this thing. The thing that I 'accidentally' experienced here is that I had Reason 4 (yeah, that one, not 5) installed on my Desktop Machine. but it required the CD to be mounted when switching back and forth from version to version. If you have ever tried installing Reason 4 and Reason 5 next to eachother, you will probably realize that that whole set up was kind of a headache. There are a few surprises from time to time regarding Reason.
