This is have maybe been asked a numerous of times before, but it would be really great to start Reason without getting prompted by a long-in window.

Make sure you are logged in at propellerheads and go to : https://www.propellerheads.se/user/prod ... horize.php . Then authorize your computer or if you have it, your ignition key.
Then as long as you don't have any beta's or trials installed, you don't have to log in.

I bought Reason Essentials and authorized my laptop online. So I need a ignition key to avoid the log-in window?

if you only knew how many hours ive wasted over the last two days trying uninstall/re install and re authorize my two machines i have reason installed on, ive had zero sucess and have tried every approach possible to remedy this problem with no luck what so ever, im sick of it, the authorizer system is more trouble then its worth, reason needs to get their shit together and fix this once and for all

everything was working fine, then i added a few more rack extensions over a few days and the whole system shat itself, ive tried un installing and reinstalling everything on both machines twice now and still no luck ? i love reason when its working but these kind of problems are just becoming to frequent for my liking

As long as you are trying Rack Extensions, you will be prompted. If those try licenses expire or you delete Rack Extensions you are trying, you will not be prompted as long as your computer is authorized.

Not sure why you can only authorize one machine anyway. I have a desktop and a laptop and use both.

so if you use rack extensions, you have to make an online login before you use reason?

i dont have any REs and i always wonder what these login issues are that people have. i just enter my serial once when installing reason, then never again. just click the program and it runs.

tbh this would be a reason for me to never buy a rack extension.

No, once you buy the rack extension you do not need to login to use it and it will not prompt you to login...unless you are trying other rack extensions at the time that are installed.

I'm aware that various users repeatedly have the same incredibly annoying issues. Which is defenitely shite. No question.
But i also have to acknowledge that at 130+ Re's i've not had any problems authorizing, even with multiple BETA's running.
I don't know if its their problem to fix. I don't have any data to support statements on who's fault it is. I just know that there's a lot that can go wrong between a client and a server. All i want from Props is that they do as much as possible to make the software great at handling whatever error it gets thrown at it wether they be internal or external.

the only thing i have did wrong is buy and add more re's, prior to that it was working ok for once. i have a fairly decent internet connection also, so thats not an issue,, i have submitted a detailed account of my trouble wit the support team, fingers crossed they wont leave me waiting forever to get back to me with some kind of solution ?

I tried to delete the Rack Extension, which I had on trial mode. But that didnt fix it, I still have to login.

Authorize your computer. If you have rack extensions, it will prompt you always. Well it does for demo versions.

Have a computer for trying REs and have another that just has the REs you own on it.
I try REs when I'm on computers at work and in different theatres. I'm logging in to authorize on those computers anyways.
On my personal MacBook Pro, I don't have to download those REs unless I really want to continue trying them. And i won't be prompted unless those REs are installed.

That said, With Reason 8 and the ability to remember login info (which I only do on my personal computer), It's just one click to open Reason and then I press enter when I see the login screen. Not a big deal really.

i never had a single issue with RE downloads, Refill downloads, or Reason downloads. it was only the authoriser updating and failing.

How many RE's do you have? What ISP are you with?

In case you don't know: when you've got your pc authorized and cancel the login for the trial versions of some REs, only those will not be avilable during this session.

So that you can't sell the other authorisation.

You can either buy a 2nd licence or just use the USB key.
