Trying and buying Rack Extensions

Trial versions of Rack Extensions

You can try out a Rack Extension by going to the Reason Studios web shop at www.reasonstudios.com/shop and using the "Try" function. This gives you a trial license which will last for 30 days (counted from when you clicked the “Try” button). During this time, the Rack Extension is fully operational, with no limitations.

When the trial license expires, the Rack Extension will be removed from the program menus. However, it will remain installed unless you manually uninstall it. Should you choose to purchase the Rack Extension later on, you don't need to download it again.

You can only try a Rack Extension once (one 30-day period).

Buying Rack Extensions

When you purchase a Rack Extension, a license is automatically written to your Reason Studios user account on the Reason Studios web site. Just like with your Reason license, you can write a Rack Extension license to your authorized computer. You can download and install the Rack Extension on as many computers as you like. However, to use the Rack Extension in Reason you either need your authorized computer or an Internet connection to run with Internet Verification.

Rack Extension devices are not available when you run Reason in Demo Mode.

If you move to another computer, you can download and install all your Rack Extensions by going to the Devices tab in the Reason Companion app and clicking the "Install all" button. This function is also excellent for making sure you got the latest versions and updates of all your Rack Extensions. Only files that are missing on your computer will be downloaded and installed.

Rack Extensions can be updated, with fixes and additions. Updates are indicated on the Devices tab in the Reason Companion app. Rack Extensions are backwards compatible, meaning that you can open older songs and patches and they will sound the same.

Rent-to-Own Rack Extensions

An alternative to purchasing Rack Extension licenses one at a time is to use the Rent-to-Own program. To utilize Rent-to-Own Rack Extensions, please go to the Reason Studios web shop at www.reasonstudios.com/shop.
