It sounds to me like you have a faulty harddrive really. Have you made sure to upgrade to a SSD drive? This is a must nowadays. There is no such thing as a clean Reason installation, it's always clean as a bean.

yea the hdd is fine. problem is with reason and its shitty authorization process. kindly stick to the topic which is to be able to completely uninstall reason. revoke authorization of my mac. and do a fresh install of reason. the topic is not the hdd, which is running fine. can you help me with that ? how do i completely remove reason as of it wasnt installed on this computer. and how do i revoke authorization when the authorize page is stuck in a refresh loop.

If you had your pc authorized before you did the fresh install of your OS and didn’t deauthorize it before the fresh install then you’ll have to mark it as lost before you can authorize it again.

i haven't done a fresh install yet. but the authorize page is stuck in a refresh loop. it keeps saying please wait while the key is repaired. but the key does not get repaired. authorizer is stuck on writing licenses.

reason opens fine though, my REs dont show up unless i log in. if i press continue without online authorization no REs show up

Log into your account and de authorise your computer.

To uninstall on windows run the uninstaller using the manager.
On mac Find the application folder and delete it.

Then re run the installation to re install.

are you using the USB ignition key? If so, remove it and re-start Reason. I only use Reason on my Mac, so I have no real need for it. Besides, I had a problem getting Reason to find the key, so I just gave up. Make sure you restart your Mac too.

Check Reason. if the install says less than 1 gb it's corrupted or something.
Reinstalling it says 4gb again.

reason support is saying I'll have to mark this as lost. theres no other way.
how many times can we mark as lost ? any idea?

anyway i marked it as lost. now i can see the authorize button. everything seems to be normal now. but im not authorizing my mac again. I'll continue with online authorization for now.

yeah its a fuck up on reasons part. people should know that if you buy a new RE or Vst and anything goes wrong and the authorizer fucks up, ure at the mercy of reason studios. you will need to mark your computer as lost. which means you have exhausted one of your license options. IT is a big deal if you don't want to lose your license

Checked you don’t have any trials or betas?
