Are EA activations tied to the computer or the account? - page 2

 
The only way not to lose activations over VPS changes, is to use MQL5 VPS.

You'd think so but this is not the case. 

I accidentally activated my licence on 2 other PC's, when I didn't require to activate it (I could have used Demo mode). 

I reached out to MetaQuotes support and they advised they won't deactivate it on the other computers and provide the 2 activations back.

I.e. If you run out, no matter what, you have to purchase the EA again. It's kind of crazy you have to pay for it after you already did so. I'm now careful not to activate it anymore in case I change PC's as I only had 5 activations.  

It would be a HUGE bummer if the EA costed $2000USD.

If you don't install the EA on the other computer it will not be activated.

If you want to use your EA on another computer, you will need to install it Patrick, as Alain said and that will cost you an activation.

 

Hi,

Would a VPN affect the EA activation counts, given that at time VPN would change the connection country, resulting in a different IP address which might defer from initial installation.

example: VPN connect through country A and EA installed into MT4 though VPS, two weeks later, MT4 was reinstalled in the VPS and this time same EA was installed again into the MT4 but VPS was access though VPN from country B.

Kind Regards,
