EA Activation Inquiry

New comment
 
Hello,
Is it possible to purchase an EA, activate it on my MetaTrader, and then activate the other versions simultaneously on MetaTrader accounts that are linked to other people and my friends?
For example, after purchasing an EA with 15 activations, I want to activate one version on my own trading account and use two versions on my friends’ trading accounts.
Is this allowed according to MQL5, and can I do this legally?

The Market license is not transferrable. It can only be used by the account that purchased it. Sharing your EA or login with another person, even if they’re a friend, violates the licensing terms as you’re effectively enabling unauthorized use.

How are EA activations calculated?
I activated the EA on two different trading accounts of mine, but only one activation has been deducted.

Activation is per forum account/profile (Community tab login) and per computer with hardware and sofware.

Activation will be lost because of the following:

  • major Windows updates (OS updates),
  • hardware updates
  • and different authorization (as a regular user of Windows or as admin for example).
