MT5 Issue after Imaging onto a New SSD

 

I have many instances of MT5 configured with demo account number and passwords.Everything was working fine.After I installed the same 

image onto a new SSD HDD,all the instances of MT5 have lot the account number and password.Indicators and sets seem to be still present .Same is the case with MT4 instances.

I have a backup taken when everything was working.I mean I can access the old MT5 and MT4  folders.Is there any way to recover the old settings so that MT5 will login automatically like before?

The encryption used for account credentials and market product activations is dependant on various hardware IDs and OS IDs.

By changing your hard drive to a new SSD, all those encrypted details are lost because the hardware ID is no longer the same.

You will have to re-enter all the account credentials and re-activate all market products (which will cause you to lose an activation count on each).
