I purchased an EA but it won't load and says "invalid license".

I purchased an EA but it won't load and says "invalid license". No one else who downloaded it has the same problem. How do I get it to validate the license or get a refund?

I already did that. It even has the EA loaded in the market section and has the option "Open" indicating I purchased it, but any time I try to load it, it says "invalid license"

You can delete this product from your Metatrader and install it once again (it helps in the case of Windows updates and the license/activation was lost because of that).

Thanks, but I tried that and the same issue keeps occurring. It says 'invalid license' and in the journal it says "initializing of Mentfx Mmanage mt5 failed with code 0 (prepare to execution failed)...removed"

Thanks for the help. It's not a technical issue with my PC, but rather an approval issue on MQL5's side.

In my account it says the $300 I paid is "frozen" for 6 more days. No idea why this would be the case. I had to change my MQL5 account email to match the one on my payment method, but that should not result in a 7-day lock on the account, right? https://gyazo.com/d85a9fb0f083ecf248a90b8afdfa281d

Then it says to activate my account, which it is, since I am posting to you from it here. I entered the information in Tools -> Community exactly as it says there, but still get an 'invalid license' error. https://gyazo.com/748faf7c18b289fec73a063249d6b9fe

No one knows what you tried and what you did (because you did not provide any technical data and any technical proofs and so on).

You can check your profile https://www.mql5.com/en/users/6x45hh32dkidatbc/market to check the activations available.
