Hello, I have rather general question:
1. I buy some EA or indicator on MQL MARKET
2. I install an activation on my PC
3. After some time, I will decide to upgrade my PC like CPU, Motherboard, add RAM memory, Hard Disk, etc etc (maybe Operational system as well)
4. Will all my activations be still valid? Or will I lose them? How the activations work exactly?
I really need to know this before I make any changes on my PC.
I tried to find some exact information about this, but couldn't find it on mql website or forums. Is there any webpage / article that describe this in detail?
Thank you for help.
Mick
Here is my understanding...
If you upgrade your operating system you will loose your MQL5 activations.
If you change RAM, Hard Disk or graphics card you will not loose the activations.
I'm not certain what happens if you change your CPU or Motherboard. (Assuming you use the same OS Installation on the hard drive)
You might have to test this with a product that has $10 licenses
Official MQL response:
//////////////////////
Hello,
Activations are bounded to PC's hardware and RAM. If you will change hardware (CPU, Motherboard, add RAM memory, Hard Disk, etc etc) or reinstall OS - activation would be lost.
That's why activations count is 5 minimum.

Not very helpful though...anyone has better idea WHAT COMPONENTS exactly are bounded? E.g. adding RAM will definitely not affect activations - tested!
Most likely the operating system.
