Hi, new user to this forum, but I've been using Reason since v.4, now using 10. I've been happily writing a new song and saving every time a new part is added, when I look down and see the program is in Demo mode! I have my usb key plugged in and Codemeter control says it's running and activated. Does anyone know a way to switch from Demo to regular mode without restarting Reason? I'll be beyond livid if I lose all this work! Thanks for any help, and hope everyone has a wonderful day! I'm going to talk a walk and clear my head. :?

No worries, just save and figure out what's wrong. From the PH website:

" It is also possible to run Reason without authorization. The program will then go into demo mode. In this mode, you can work as usual, without time restrictions - record, edit, mix and even save your work.
However, you cannot open songs in demo mode. To be able to open songs, you need to run Reason in authorized mode. "

Diminished, as they say, not all heroes wear capes. You made my day with your advice, I closed and reopened the project, and it's all there. Also no more Demo mode. Don't know how that happened, but I'm too happy to care! You are a gentleman (person?) and a scholar, and I thank you again for helping!

I'm glad everything is back to normal. Enjoy your shiny new toy! :)
Don't forget to authorize your computer for offline use on the PH page, just in case the servers are down or your hamster chewed on the internet cable.
