You can tie that version of Reason 8 to your computer. Then you don't have to change anything until you get a new computer. See this https://www.propellerheads.se/suppo...rize-computer/how-do-i-authorize-my-computer/

Also where do you store your refills?

Sorry to say it but the #1 rule of reason is never keep your refills or samples in the propellerheads directory. I would move those ASAP to somewhere else, then you will never have this problem again. Oh and reason upgrades like to wipe that folder out completely so your stuff is not safe there.

Yes on your first question. Once you have them in a new directory the Reason file will always point to the right place. Until you move to a new computer of course.

Second question, yes you can deauthorize one computer and authorize another.

Also you should self contain your songs anyway, go to file > self contain settings and then select everything you can. Then all your samples for each song are stored in the .reason file for each track. It makes the files bigger of course but then you never lose anything. See
