I need to know how to limit an EA to account No.

New comment
 

Hello,

I got my EA coded via a friend, how can I limit it to an account no. or a broker company, so if it is launched on another account number or another broker company, it doesn't work, as I want to give it to someone but don't want to allow him to sell it.

Thank you, but I can't still figure it out for the account no. or broker name

 

Account number is in the example above

Broker name is found by using AccountServer()

Yes, just got it, thank you so much, I'll be trying it.

 

...Or just do it super simple:

int start() {
//------ Authenticate --------------
if (  AccountNumber()!=123454321)
   {
    Alert("Unlicensed copy!");
   return;
   }
//----------------------------------

//Your normal code starts here
