What native MetaTrader licensing means and why it matters

The old way of selling an EA — handing the buyer an anonymous executable or library — carries both security risk and piracy risk. Native licensing for MetaTrader 4 and 5 solves that.

How it works

The permission to use the tool is bound to your trading account inside MetaTrader itself. The account that bought the licence runs the tool — no crack files, no middleman server.

Why it matters to buyers

• The tool is original and untampered — exactly what the seller listed.
• No anonymous executable runs on your machine.
• Support is tied to that same licence when issues arise.

See natively-licensed tools in the marketplace and read the details in the guide.

Frequently asked questions

How many accounts does a licence cover? The account count and duration are written on each tool’s page; there is no single standard.

What if I change brokers? Moving the licence to a new account follows that shop’s/seller’s terms; read them before switching.

Do old tools survive MetaTrader updates? A responsible seller ships updates; the last-update date is visible on the tool page.

Does native licensing mean I never receive the file? It means the usage permission is activated through the maker and MetaTrader, bound to your trading account; no raw, anonymous file changes hands. The result: you have the maker’s official support and the original version, with no middleman and no tampering.
