Will it overwrite Reason 8? I see no need to hold on to 8.

Any changes in authorization? One machine has the key, the other I login.

Can I move the refill to another drive? Maybe not such a good idea since the OS is a SSD.

You can install it in a different folder, so that you keep your version 8. For example C:\Program Files\Reason9

And you can always put refills anywhere you want.

Hmmm... Unless it's different on Windows? It does not overwrite previous versions on Mac.
But you can just manually remove whatever other versions you no longer need to use.

Mine did not overwrite Reason 8. It also carried my previous preferences over which is nice. Uninstallers are located in the Reason folder. I have 8 and 8.2 in separate folders.
