Authorizer stuck on writing licenses

So i downloaded a few REs, the authorizer got stuck at 'writing licenses' for more than half hour, so i quit the authorizer. Now reason says i need to login because sone REs maybe trial versions.

But they're not trial versions.

Is it possible to delete the RE licenses and get authorizer to write the licenses again?

Go to each RE in the shop and click Download. The authoriser sometimes needs a couple of goes!

Also, try a different browser. I sometimes have problems with MS Edge failing to start the authoriser properly.

Writing Licenses: Stuck
Some REs are trial: Oh no they're not.
Balance: Please wait while this key is being repaired.

Similar issue: Authorizer opens fine but 'writing licences...' message just stays displayed indefinitely. Cannot open Reason now without clicking the online authorisation button each time! Authorizer Ver 2.9.5d1 Build 353, Windows 8.1 64bit, Reason 10.4d4 Build 9878

Exactly my problem, but there's no writing licenses anymore. I just can't use Reason without online authorization

FYI I just reported this in a ReasonStudios Support Ticket. It's great to have everyone corroborate the problems here on ReasonTalk, but I was not seeing anyone reporting it in a Support Ticket. That is always the best, fastest way to make then aware.

I ticketed the Balance thing. Confirmed an hour ago: no longer available to be used as Ignition Key.
I replied immediately asking about the licensing writing issue but as yet have had no response.

    I'm not sure if that's a new bug, but I have the same issue when I reinstall Reason. On Firefox the authorizer did nothing, but on Chrome it worked within a minute.

      Mine too. I noticed I don't have my Reason Studio 11 license on Balance, just all the other Reason versions. Did I read that 11 is no longer supported on Balance?

      Probably. But I don’t imagine that it was an official Propellerheads statement. They just seem to be doing stuff without telling anybody these days.

      It seems like they have had several issues with their website during the transition, from beta forum and help Zendesk issues to the license server.
