Applies to: Automap
The Automap server will auto start when it is triggered by Rewire. Most modern DAWs send out a Rewire message (to allow support for Rewire support for other applications) upon startup, and Automap makes use of this behaviour to avoid users having to manually startup Automap every time.
However, Reason/Record does not support other Rewire applications, (ironically Rewire is made by Propellerheads as well) and hence the Automap is not auto-started.
