The good folks over at Propellerhead Software have declared their software to be ready for use within Microsoft’s Vista operating system. To be precise, Propellerhead has announced the following software versions to be Vista-compatible: Reason 3.0.4, Reason 4.01, ReCycle 2.1, Reload 1.0.1.
However, users should note the following:
- Reason, ReCycle, and Reload all require administrative privileges the first time they are installed and launched in Windows Vista. This is because of the enhanced security features in Vista.
- If you’re upgrading from an earlier version of Windows to Windows Vista, then you will need to reauthorize. So, you will need your original CDs and your license number.
- ReWire and REX are also compatible with Windows Vista. However, as a result of the enhanced security features in Windows Vista, the way ReWire and REX need to be installed has changed. Propellerhead has created a special Installer for both ReWire and REX for Vista users.
- Hardware Reminder: If you’re using any hardware devices with any of the above Propellerhead software, such as a keyboard controller, don’t forget to consult the hardware manufacturer’s website for more information about Vista compatibility before you upgrade your operating system.
