Hi all. I want to hire a freelancer to code an EA but I need to have some knowledge about EA before I can hire one. I post my questions here, maybe they look silly, but hopefully someone is kind enough to spend his/her precious time to answer them. Thank you so much!

Question 1
I want to create an EA and distribute it for free. However, due to some personal reason, I want to limit the number of "installation" or "activation" (not sure what the suitable term should I use). Is there a way to limit the number of pc install? For example, person A get the free EA and he use it on a pc. Can I set a limit so that person A can only install on 5 different pc? Is that I can code it in the EA?

Question 2
On mql5.com > Market, there is activation limit on every EA set by the author, I guess.

After I purchase an EA and download it from mql5.com, can I copy the EA from the source file and paste it on other pc to by pass the activation limit set by the author?

Question 3
Is there a better way to set the limit of activation?

The activations you mention are handled by MT4/5 through the terminal. The activations are a requirement of MQ (minimum activations=5) and are part of the MQ connection between your terminal and their website. The simplest way to offer the same thing is to register as a seller on MQL site, post your program for free and let mql handle the distribution/activations.

Thanks for your answer!

Posting it on mql5 market is a good way to distribute free EA but I don't have control over the number of installation.
