first things first, I'm a loyal Reason user and purchased the 6-7 upgrade, 7-8 and then 8-9 last year shortly after the announcement of Reason 9, and enjoy the software immensly.

I've noticed that on a website (that I'm not sure I could name), that a cracked version of Reason 9 for mac has appeared and was posted just yesterday.

I'm hoping that it hasn't been cracked and that the post on the website in question doesn't work. One of the main reasons why I brought into using Reason was that at the time it was secure and practically uncrackable with the dongle and computer authorisation process.

You could inform PH about this. In my experience (a lot of years in the past...) it is malware, trojans, virus, or some other contaminated sh!t like that.

Yup that's exactly what I'm hoping it is, and not a working crack. Will send a message to the propellerheads.

Highly doubtful, it's probably a link of the Reason 9 demo (which is the full package, just locked until you actually buy it).

Codemeter run yearly contests for the top top hackers to try and crack their keys http://www.wibu.com/uk/hacker-contest.html

Worth reporting though

NO. Reason hasn't been cracked since version 5.

Same should hold true (according to others) for Cubase, since version 5, or 6, or so. I know people who ran warezed higher versions though, but, they always said that the one or the other thing didn't work. Hehe. :P

I feel like if you have the money for video games & televisions you can get a daw that have unlimited tracks.
Upgrading is peanuts in comparison, but an upgrade won't make or break you either so do keep in mind that is also a factor, learning your tools inside & out is what this place is also about. :lol: :post:

Yep. Hard to get the "everything is available for free" attitude out of the heads though.

Yep. Stuff costs money. upgrading is what? 3 new games?
I had reason 5 but paid 300 for a fresh copy of 8 some years back cuz I knew I was gonna enjoy that shit immensely.

Didn't upgrade to 9 because I'd like to see alittle more content bundled with it by default, as the suggestion of more thor modules since that synth has one of the best layouts in synthesis I have ever seen besides sylenth1 and fucking serum/omnisphere/zebra.

?I saw this daw as perfect as a sound design playhouse/environment and well worth 5 times the asking price.

It's the "entitlement generation", IMHO.

@OP: Reason hasn't been cracked since 5.0. CodeMeter is pretty solid (as already mentioned here). Also, using Reason (and RE's) is tied to an authorized license, so even if there were some crack floating around (there's not), I'd bet it would take a miracle to get it working outside of demo mode.

Of course it isn't cracked. It's a scam.

it's only a matter of time fellas. i didn't have real paychecks for a long time when i was a teenager, so i pirated reason 4 and that's why i'm here. of course i bought it once i could afford to. piracy is too sticky and not fully featured enough to use forever, but if it lets kids who can't afford to make music start making music i'm all for it

The protection seems solid, otherwise there would have been cracks for - Reason 6, Reason 7, Reason 8, and Reason 9 by now. That's like 6 years without a warezed version of it now.

Maybe you really don't know years ago what team H20 in 1500 hours of coding how they emulated the dongle elicenser protection (at the time Cubase SX3 and Nuendo were actually uncrackable without H2O dongle emulator..)
It was a HUGE work....

Id rather see a different way/approach. Warez are full of hacks, the sites too. Its too dangerous to let kids get in contact to this.
School or kids versions may be a better solution. Somehow limited in functionality and license, with an upgrade option later than they have money. But a working solution is difficult.

And they're never going to do it again (they said so themselves). In the meantime, software protection also evolved so it will take even more time to be able to crack something. If it was that easy, Record would have been cracked by now. It isn't. It won't be.

Kids have a plethora of cheaper (or free) tools to make music, so this argument is invalid.

Why are midi controllers bundled with so much shit :[

I bought Reason 1.0 since the day one and years after I found an extra license of R2.5 with an m-audio Keyboard (and Ableton live lite too). Tons of licenses at very beginning were everywhere!

Maybe Record was not so popular that worth it the "crack". Actually, I speak for my country , in 17 years of Reason I never knew a single Record user (but in the Props Forum of course ).
Pirates look at the mainstream applications. And Photoshop is every year of his business duly cracked.
It has to do with popularity more the difficulty to crack something
(And there are in 2017 tons of cracked Vst ... At least almost every audio company (Waves and Native Instruments included..).So they are so stupid?
