FAQ

EA Licensing FAQ

Common questions about MetaTrader EA license management, anti-piracy, and the marketplace.

What is EA license management?

EA license management is software that lets MetaTrader developers issue, validate, limit, and revoke licenses for Expert Advisors. With LicenseMyEA, you upload your MT4/MT5 EA, generate license keys, and control who can run your trading bot.

How does build binding prevent EA cracking?

Build binding ties a protected EA build to live license checks. If someone cracks or copies the binary, validation fails and the Expert Advisor will not run for unauthorized users — reducing piracy and unauthorized redistribution.

Can I set activation limits or expiry dates on licenses?

Yes. You can set activation limits, expiry dates, and broker locks per license so customers cannot freely share keys across unlimited terminals or brokers.

Does LicenseMyEA support MT4 and MT5?

Yes. LicenseMyEA supports MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors (.mq4 / .mq5), including MQL4 and MQL5 licensing workflows.

How is the marketplace different from selling EAs myself?

Self-distribution means you handle sales, delivery, and support alone. The LicenseMyEA marketplace adds discovery, verified sellers, escrow checkout, and secure delivery so buyers and sellers do not exchange raw files manually.

What happens if a customer’s license is compromised?

You can revoke or reissue the license from your dashboard immediately. Compromised activations stop validating, so you can cut off shared or cracked keys without republishing your entire EA.

Do you support cTrader, TradingView, or copy trading setups?

LicenseMyEA is built primarily for MT4/MT5 EA licensing and anti-piracy. Broader CopyBridge/EA ecosystem connectivity covers cTrader, TradingView, DXtrade, Match-Trader, and TradeLocker — see our blog for what is possible today.

How fast is license activation?

License validation is designed for low latency with global CDN distribution, so paying customers can activate quickly after purchase without waiting on manual delivery.
