Reason 10 license key
But before you can start making music with Reason 10, you need a license key. A license key is a unique code that proves that you own the software and allows you to run it in authorized mode. Authorized mode gives you full access to all the features and functions of Reason 10.
In this article, we will show you how to activate, download, and install your Reason 10 software using your license key. We will also explain how to authorize your software using different methods, and how to activate multi-seat licenses if you want to run Reason 10 on multiple computers.
Follow these steps to get started with your Reason 10 software:
Register the license number and registration code
The first step in the activation process is to register the license number and registration code that you received from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer. These are two different codes that you need to redeem your product online.
In order to redeem your product, you first need to create an account with Propellerhead. Propellerhead is the company that develops Reason 10 and other music software products. By creating an account with Propellerhead, you can access your products, updates, support, and more.
Here is how to create an account with Propellerhead and register your license number and registration code:
Go to https://www.propellerheads.com and click on "Create Account".
Fill out the form with your name, email address, password, country, and newsletter preferences. Click on "Create Account".

Enter the License Number and Registration Code that are located in the software activation instructions email from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.
Click on "Register" to complete the process.
Congratulations! You have successfully registered your Reason 10 product. You can now download and install the software on your computer.
Download and install the software
The next step is to download and install the Reason 10 software and the Codemeter software on your computer. Codemeter is a software that manages the license keys for Reason 10 and other Propellerhead products. You need to install Codemeter in order to authorize your software.
Here is how to download and install the Reason 10 software and the Codemeter software on your computer:
Go to your Propellerhead account page and click on "My Products".
Find the Reason 10 product that you registered and click on "Download".
Select the version of Reason 10 that matches your operating system (Windows or Mac).
Save the file to your computer and run it once it is downloaded.
Follow the instructions on the screen to install Reason 10 on your computer.
Go back to your Propellerhead account page and click on "Download Codemeter".
Select the version of Codemeter that matches your operating system (Windows or Mac).
Save the file to your computer and run it once it is downloaded.
Follow the instructions on the screen to install Codemeter on your computer.
Well done! You have successfully downloaded and installed the Reason 10 software and the Codemeter software on your computer. You can now launch Reason 10 and authorize it.
Authorize the software
The final step in the activation process is to authorize the Reason 10 software using your license key. Authorization is a process that verifies that you have a valid license key and allows you to run Reason 10 in authorized mode. Authorized mode gives you full access to all the features and functions of Reason 10.
You can authorize your Reason 10 software using two different methods: Internet verification or computer authorization. Internet verification is a method that requires you to log in to your Propellerhead account every time you launch Reason 10. Computer authorization is a method that allows you to run Reason 10 without logging in, but requires you to store your license key on your computer or a USB flash drive.
Here is how to authorize your Reason 10 software using either method:
Internet verification
Launch Reason 10 on your computer.
A dialog box will appear asking you to log in to your Propellerhead account. Enter your email address and password and click on "Log In".
A dialog box will appear asking you to choose your preferred license location. Select "Internet verification" and click on "OK".
Your Reason 10 software will be authorized and ready to use.
Note: Internet verification requires an active internet connection every time you launch Reason 10. If you lose your internet connection or log out of your Propellerhead account, Reason 10 will switch to demo mode. Demo mode limits some of the features and functions of Reason 10, such as saving, exporting, and using Rack Extensions.
Computer authorization
Launch Reason 10 on your computer.
A dialog box will appear asking you to log in to your Propellerhead account. Enter your email address and password and click on "Log In".
A dialog box will appear asking you to choose your preferred license location. Select "Computer authorization" and click on "OK".
A dialog box will appear asking you where you want to store your license key. You can choose either "This Computer" or "USB Flash Drive". If you choose "This Computer", your license key will be stored on your hard drive. If you choose "USB Flash Drive", you need to insert a USB flash drive into your computer and select it from the list.
Click on "Authorize" to transfer your license key to your chosen location.
Your Reason 10 software will be authorized and ready to use.
Note: Computer authorization does not require an internet connection every time you launch Reason 10, but it does require you to have access to your chosen license location. If you store your license key on your hard drive, you can only run Reason 10 on that computer. If you store your license key on a USB flash drive, you can run Reason 10 on any computer, as long as you have the USB flash drive with you.
Activating multi-seat licenses
If you have purchased a multi-license for Reason 10, you can activate it on multiple computers using a LAN (Local Area Network). A multi-license is a special type of license that allows you to run multiple instances of Reason 10 simultaneously on different computers connected by a network. A multi-license is ideal for schools, studios, or other environments where multiple users need to access Reason 10.
In order to activate a multi-license, you need to install Codemeter on one computer that acts as the license server. The license server is the computer that holds the license key and distributes it to the other computers on the network. The other computers are called clients, and they need to connect to the license server in order to run Reason 10.
Here is how to activate a multi-license for Reason 10 using a LAN:
Set up the license server
Install Codemeter on the computer that you want to use as the license server.
Launch Codemeter Control Center from the Start menu (Windows) or the Applications folder (Mac).
Click on the "Process" tab and then click on "Start Server".
Click on the "License" tab and then click on "Activate License".
Enter your license number and registration code that you received from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer and click on "Activate".
Your license key will be transferred to the license server and displayed in the Codemeter Control Center.
Congratulations! You have successfully set up the license server for your multi-license. You can now connect the client computers to the license server and run Reason 10 on them.
Connect the client computers
Install Codemeter on each client computer that you want to run Reason 10 on.
Launch Codemeter Control Center from the Start menu (Windows) or the Applications folder (Mac).
Click on the "Network" tab and then click on "Search Network".
A list of available license servers will appear. Select the one that matches your license server and click on "Add".
The license server will be added to your network list and displayed in the Codemeter Control Center.
Launch Reason 10 on each client computer. You will be able to run Reason 10 in authorized mode without logging in or entering any codes.
Well done! You have successfully connected the client computers to the license server and activated your multi-license. You can now run multiple instances of Reason 10 simultaneously on different computers connected by a LAN.
