Binary ex5 usability

 

Hello,

i have question about .ex5 binary. When you like to protected your software, you should provide .ex5 only and not mql5.

When a new version available, those binaries may be need to be recompiled.

My question: Is there any problem on customer side, if customer has only .ex5 file

and if it is possible for MetaTrader to recompile, doesn't this mean MetaTrader potentionally can view the code ?

Thank you for answer

In general an ex5 compiled in an earlier build of MetaEditor will work in a later version of the Terminal so there should be no need to recompile.
