Default Using EZkeys within Reaper. Any limitations?

Hi,
I have the Demo of EZkeys installed and MIDI Out is greyed out whether I run it stand alone or host it in Reaper; this may be a limitation of the Demo that I missed.
Can I do the following with a full activated version?
Use the full features of EZKeys when hosted within a Reaper, but rather than using any of the Toontrack keyboard libraries, use the MIDI Out to trigger whatever VST instruments that I have installed.
I have a bunch of pianos and other keyboards so I’d rather work with them most of the time.
I hope so as the concept looks attractive especially with current pricing.
Thanks

Thanks.
Have you noticed any limitations when using it in this way?

I just posted that in another forum using the midi out to any other virtual instrument.
And now is the time to buy EZKeys with the black friday sales.
EZKeys for 29 USD (At Sweetwater.com)

Also if you use ReaTrak it will create the chord track in Reaper,
you can then click "MIDI Chord Track" and it will create a midi chord track item that can be dragged into EZKeys and give the chord track to EZKeys to follow. Then you can select a section of chord track in EZKeys and replace it with the Browser Midi phrases.
