Licenses
A direct store file checks a key on start. The first working check binds that MT5 login. A second terminal cannot take it by asking.
Updated August 2026
Where to find the key
After payment confirms, the key is on Account under Licenses, and in the fulfilment email. Paste it when the file asks. Do not post it in a group.
How binding works
- Install the file and attach it. Enter the key if asked.
- The first successful check stores that MT5 login, and the broker server if the file sends it.
- Later checks must present the same login. A different login is rejected until you unbind.
Move a license
On Account, use Unbind this license. Attach the file on the new login and enter the same key. Binding happens again on the first successful check.
If the terminal is offline
A dropped network must not freeze a running EA. The file is built to remember a recent success for a short window. If checks keep failing after that, open Account and confirm the key is still active, then check that the address of this store is allowed under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors.
MQL5 Market
A purchase on the MQL5 Market is licensed by MetaQuotes. It does not create a key on this Account. Downloads and activations for that listing stay on MQL5.
