Wtf .. latest autheriser won't install on win xp !!!

[submonsterz]

So tried to grab some of the last fixes on Re's on sdk1 .
They are on a 6.5 license running on a win xp machine
Can't look through res on account page on that machine to grab the last updated res pre sdk2 says there's an autheriser problem try re install.
So went grabbed the autheriser from props site and it will not install on that machine ie on xp .
Any one else having this issue ??.
If so wtf how would I re install all my shit on that machine if and when I will need to wtf ........

Windows 7 is 10 bucks instant download... XP really shouldn't be used anymore. That said, maybe you try to actually do what the popup says and re-install instead of installing a new version.

Uninstall Reason 6.5. Re-install Reason 6.5 and start it. The version of Authorizer that is compatible with WinXP will re-install.

Xp still gets Microsoft fixes etc it's still a working valid os .
I got win 7and win 10 on other machines with reason 7 on and why should I update and do the bullshit to run 6.5 and sdk 1 res there's absolutely no reason to.

[submonsterz]

And reason runs fine res open etc just on props site it's giving autheriser problems not actually on using Reason or res on the machine at all

No reason to run Reason, probably not. But extended support For XP ended on April 8, 2014. Security Essentials virus definitions and updates for its Malicious Software Removal Tool for XP ended July 14, 2015. If that machine has Internet access, you're pretty much open to vulnerability.

Malicious software tool etc still get updates had one other day ...
And that machine only goes on Internet to do reason licenses for res nothing else so unless props site is full of bullshit it won't happen will plus it's got virus and male ware protection on it if I did need to go online ever for anything else which it won't as I have lots of other devices for that.

Cool. Good luck with your Authorizer issue; let us know how it works out for you.

If you're not going to update your OS -- whatever OS it is -- then you have to assume that at some point it will become too obsolete to run modern software. Do you expect all this to still be compatible with Windows 3.1? I have a machine that runs Reason on Windows 7. It runs Reason and nothing else, and it runs it perfectly, so I have no intention of updating the OS. So I'm not saying you're a dinosaur for not updating your OS. But again, the software industry will keep moving on, and at some point you have to decide whether you are along for the ride or if this is your exit.

If you read my posts I have win 7 and win 10 on other machines with reason 7...
This particular machine has win xp and reason 6.5 which is supposed to work as allways did and there is absolutely no need to update it in any way to run Reason 6.5 and sdk 1 res that are associated to that account.
The autheriser should work and work with the props site no matter what for as l9ng as thier site is running which the autheriser is part of the software it should never stop working and should never need new os etc to run just the autherising side of the older software ever . Simple as that.
I should be able to re install and link to.props site at any time to re download and install my purchases allways no matter what version it is as it's part of the re thing they will allways work as the license says .

Can you point me to where I can download and buy a legitimate Windows 7 license for "10 bucks"?

I'm highly skeptical but would love you to prove it!

Well it's closer to $20 but that's still an amazing deal if legal and legitimate for US buyers. Don't all Windows 7 keys come with a free upgrade to Windows 10 too? That's a pretty awesome way to get a new PC build going with Windows 10. (again, if it's actually legit. Places like Newegg sell Windows 7 for between 80 to 140 dollars).

Yeah, I paid this price a few years ago already, I expected it to have gone down even further with the release of Win10 and all. Idk if theres a similar thing for the US, I would guess so. This is legal, yes. I already got support and an upgrade to Win8 via such a license.

WTF!!!

If you've attempted to installl a newer authoriser version then the likelihood is you'll have to uninstall that as well as Reason before re-installing Reason 6.5 again.

The fact that you installed the newer version is likely what is preventing you from overwriting it with the old version (YOU installed a newer version after all). So uninstall any instances of Authorizer, Codemeter, AND Reason that remain in the Add/Remove programs list first before doing a clean install of Reason 6.5 which will then install the versions of Authorizer and Codemeter it originally came with.

...wtf! I've still got an active XP partition I forgot about and the 6.5, codemeter and authorizer installed on it still works...wtf, wtf!

IIRC FXpansion and Native Instruments among others dropped XP support well before Reason did. So the point about it being a valid OS is moot if 3rd party support has finished. Truth be told as well you'd probably be one of the first to go wtf if Reason still maintained support for XP as it would give you another golden opportunity to state how far behind everything else it was...

I guess the only reason you should update and do the bullshit to run 6.5 and SDK 1 REs is if you can't get it working again.

Like I said though if you follow the instructions I gave just now you should get back to a factory fresh 6.5 install which worked back then and will work as well now if you do what I just suggested.

Still a wtf I never got to install a newer version it refused the newer version on clicking install it never installed nothing.
So that's that out and re install of the 6.5.disk same reason works says autheriser broke when trying to connect to props account page ....
Next idea on solving needed now then ehhh.

WTF!

Did you try uninstalling any references to Codemeter and Authorizer anyway before re-installing Reason?

Drop support an email and ask them what is the latest version of Auth that runs on XP but also works in the shop and get them to send you a link to download it otherwise.

I fixed it with a fresh head this morning .
I copied over a back up I had saved on other comp then no work so I then went in registry deleted everything to do with reason and code meter in there .
Then went back to other pc and copied regarding info from there I deleted in other .
Then grabbed all res from roaming folder on other comp copied over .
Worked ......
The only thing I didn't do last night was delete reason reg files and copy over the Re's folder from the roaming folder still a head scratch on what was amiss in the first place though.

Personally, I would be highly suspicious of this seller. First — and at the risk of sounding a little bigoted — they're based in China. Second, their price for 7 is wildly less than another known-to-be-legit OEM reseller:

They're based in Hong Kong because of taxes, nothing else. Theres even been a court decision about this. If you can read German, heres all info:

I still don't understand how they can legitimately charge $20 for something which Microsoft itself charges OEMs $80.

For the OEM that either means a loss of 80$ or 60$ (or lets say 70$), pretty easy to understand if you ask me.
