I was able to get Reason 8 (8.3.2d7) installed on my Mac running Mojave 10.14.3. I got the exact same problem as described above with the endless loop of: - 'Install Reason' - 'Start Reason' - 'Reason Removes ID8 and Orkester/Factory Soundbanks from Applications' - 'Reason needs sound banks' - 'Reason downloads the above filed'. Reason + 12 Demo Songs + 6 Template Songs / Projects Propellerhead Software today announced Reason 9, the latest version of the DAW, which introduces a host.
No idea if anyone still uses Reason 8, but in case they do...Long story short: I tried to install Reason 8 on my new MacBook, but I can't get it to open because it cannot find the soundbanks (even after I download them).
More details below. Any thoughts much appreciated.

I have been using Reason 8 on an older MacBook for a few years now. It's great.
I recently got a new 2017 MacBook Air running OS 10.13.6 and downloaded Reason 8.3.2d7.
When I tried to open it, it told me that 'Reason needs sound banks and additional content to run. Please click the Download button to download all missing content!' I did that, and watched my computer download and verify the soundbanks. But then Reason told me it couldn't find the soundbanks (again), and asked me to re-install them (again).

After this happened 3 times, I uninstalled Reason, shut down my computer, and re-downloaded it. When I opened it, it again told me the sound banks were missing. I downloaded them again, and again it told me that the banks can't be found, and need to be re-installed.
