If I have two instances of Reason open I can copy and paste rack devices between them.

Is this still possible between a Reason project and an instance of the RRP open in another host?

I could not do that, in my host at least. Moreover, when the RRP is in use, Reason standalone cannot use the same license.

I usually combine the devices I want to copy, save the .cmb patch, load it in the RRP and uncombine it there.

yeah, I think the only way is to save the patch and reload it where you want to move it to. I did this a bunch yesterday when migrating a project to Ableton.

as an aside, one thing I found out during the process that’s a bit annoying—the mixer channel Q settings don’t use consistent values with their RE counterparts. spent a couple of hours writing all my channel settings down, only to find that when I went to recreate them, the RE versions use % values, instead of decimals. at least everything else was pretty straightforward.

That's a shame to learn that I can't paste device set-ups from current projects into the RRP, but I can work round it.

Can you expand a little on this? Do you mean you can't have Reason and the RRP open at the same time?

At least I've been unable to run both using the offline license. The second application would ask me to enter online login/password, which I hate to provide. So I use them in turn.

Zip everything into a combinator, save that. Open in rack plugin.
