Are here some R10 users to confirm if RE authorization still works for Reason 10 ?

Since they destroyed offline authorization some time ago I am not able to access any new REs that are installed via Authorizer after this period. Login popup doesn't show before Reason launch, so I am stuck in offline mode with old REs which were installed before offline authorization removal.

I've contacted support 15 days ago, but I haven't received any solutions yet. Nobody from support provided the answer which would solve my issue. I am still awaiting reply for my last answers within the support ticket conversation.

Please don't reply that I need to upgrade to latest Reason to solve this. I don't want to upgrade, I want to continue using R10.

Are newly installed REs (trials also, not only free updates or new purchases) accessible for someone who still uses R10 ?

I haven't yet tried, I have Rsn 10 on my laptop, and it was the only one authorized for offline, and still is, in theory.
Lappy is too underpowered to run Rsn 11 and up. I hope it is still working.
By the way, they removed also the page where your account manages the offline authorized ... Or I couldnt find it, they moved elsewhere...
I didn't install the new authorizer also on the old pc, and that is in theory the only way to re-authorize the offline mode pc-etc.
Be it Rsn 10, 11, or 12, It should work the same, it need the new authorizer.
I know it has crashed on my workstation when I tried, bc I moved a disk where the New gigantic Rsn files were stored, I lost the disk,
and even reinstalling, some links couldnt be reset and the new authorizer fails to work.

Prettey bad situation, works with devs, each case is different..

PS. I never went on the INternet again on my old Lappy Rsn, and I used it for a live gig this summer... so it still works...
I'm too afarid to even go to Internet again with it for fear of losing it...
So I updated everything last december prior the changes, and then never dared to go online again...

I dont' want to install a new authorizer on my old lappy. I want to be able to everything from the browser connection.
I see no need to install a new authorizer, in my view bugged, that can potentially break my configuration...

Untill they will do not come up with a better browser solution to the offline auth problem, I'm staying with the last updated
config.

If you're still using Reason 10, newly installed REs, such as trial versions or new purchases, may not function properly due to changes to the authorization mechanism. This is most likely because Reason 10 does not handle the current online permission processes required by freshly installed REs.

Only online authorization should work for trial/new REs (Reason 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12.5.3): https://help.reasonstudios.com/hc/en-us ... -and-later

I have suspicion that authorization login window for online RE access doesn't pop up anymore, if the Reason itself is authorized offline.

So how can I deauthorize Reason itself ? I guess uninstalling codemeter wouldn't be enough. There was deauthorize option in the website user account but this is no longer available.

I am still discussing this issue within my official support ticked. They are kind, but the responses delay is horrible - they don't reply even after 10-11 days, I often have to double text them to get any response...It's more than one month since I've created the ticket and I haven't received any solution.
