You prob don't need to reinstall Reason, just codemeter or Authoriser
You can always try contacting Props direct with this. They were quick to help me out.
Sorry I can't remember the process but there is one.
PErhaps someone else here can commernt?

I've never had an issue with my ignition key but there is a thread somewhere and the end result was to contact support.

I have had an issue with licensing on my mac when using safari and I started using Firefox which resolved it.

As for fresh install your going to need to delete all the files from applications and preferences, there is a handy FAQ for file locations check that. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7514631

DOn't try a clean install of Reason till you go through the other possiblities first.
I did the clean install and it did nothing when I was having probs. I deleted all the pref files the lot.
If it's an actual key that's gone wrong it may be the key itself. I had that too. Thing just stoped working and support sent me a new one, though I'm not sure they'll do that any longer. This was about two yr ago.
It's worth a try though. They must have loads of em lying around.
