extern int Parol=12345;
//--------------------------------------------------------------- 2 --
int start()                            // Special function 'start'
  {
   if(Check()==false)                  // If the using conditions do not..
      return;                          // ..meet the requirements, then exit
 
   // The main code of the program must be specified here
   Alert("Program execution");      // Alert example
 
   return;                             // Exit start()
  }
//--------------------------------------------------------------- 3 --
bool Check()                           // User-defined function of..
  {                                    // .. use conditions checking
   if (IsDemo()==true)                 // If it is a demo account, then..
      return(true);                    // .. there are no other limitations
   if (AccountCompany()=="SuperBank")  // The password is not needed
      return(true);                    // ..for corporate clients
   int Key=AccountNumber()*2+1000001;  // Calculating key
   if (Parol==Key)                     // If the password is correct, then..
      return(true);                    // ..allow the real account to trade
   Alert("Wrong password. EA does not work.");
   return(false);                      // Exit user-defined function
  }

  2. If you sell it on the Market, you don't have to worry about such things.

  3. pek4christ: but it doesnt show how on serial key is restricted to one account
    The hash of the account number must match your key. Your posted code shows exactly "how on serial key is restricted to one account."

I will check it out Thanks

 

This is not a serial control, just password protection.

You need to do more. :)

William Roeder is not working in the Real account, but it trade on demo account
 
  what is the meaning of this:  
 int Key=AccountNumber()*2+1000001;  // Calculating key
   if (Parol==Key)                     // If the password is correct, then..
      return(true);                    // ..allow the real account to trade
Can the key be equal to the Parol
