Scripts: Simple license on account name

Simple license on account name:

Below you can find a super simple method to create a license based on MT4 account name. Place in your init function: CheckLicense(); The stringLower method makes sure the account name is in lowercase. Then you can check this value with the account name you want to check.

You can also do it like this in order to save some time:

string upper = lower;         
StringToUpper(upper);
 

Why transform to Lowercase at all?

I also use:
AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LOGIN)
... to limit the number of uses per account/account type.

This is to make it work on multiple brokers, where brokers can have a different markup for example with capitals or not.

Thanks. That makes sense.
 
Hi Amira,

You can try using this one line code for your "StringLower" function:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert string to lower                                           |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
string StringLower(string str){StringToLower(str); return(str);}

Hopefully it is useful and helpful, happy coding .. Have a nice day 😊
