Default Reaper download key #

I am having issues with my controller and Reaper.
If I uninstall Reaper, will I need my key number to reinstall?
If so, how do I find the key number?
Thanks, Billy

It's best to backup your license. This can be done on Windows by thse steps:

* Use the hotkey Windows+r
* In the window that pops up, type %appdata% and hit OK
* A file explorer window should now open
* Browse in this window to the folder "REAPER"
* Find the file "reaper-license.rk" in this folder and save it somewhere safe

Should something go wrong with your license during reinstallation then you should be able to use that file to reimport your license.

You can also use Options > Show Reaper resource path ... to navigate to the resource folder with the reaper-license.rk file.


In addition, it's also a good strategy to export and backup your current Reaper config via Preferences > General > Export Configuration first, just in case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB4C3njFxRg

You can also make a fresh portable Reaper install to a separate folder (side by side to your existing install) to check if the same issues occur there: http://lacinato.com/cm/blog/25-reaperportable
