EA locking - working across multiple MT4 accounts

Hello
I'm using the following part of code to lock a certain EA

Inserted Code
//Date Lock
bool use_demo=True;
int demo_year=2015;
int demo_month=7;
int demo_day=30;
//Account Number Lock
int acc_number=11223344;
 
int start() {
  //demo
if(use_demo)
{
if((Year()>demo_year || (Year()==demo_year && Month()>demo_month) || (Year()==demo_year && Month()==demo_month && Day()>=demo_day)) || IsTesting())
{
Alert("License Expired, Contact Seller: [email protected]");
return(0);
}
}
 
  //acc number
  if(acc_number!=0 && acc_number!=AccountNumber())
  {
  Alert("EA Not Licensed For Your Account Number, Contact Seller: [email protected]");
  return(0);
  }

My question is how can I output an ex4 file to work on several accounts instead of producing 1 ex4 file for each account ie: 11223344, 124578, 458789, 87859.

      ObjectSet("SB71_Password1", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 300);
      return (0);
   }

Shouldn't extern string PassWord default to "" instead?
I'm not trying to convince anyone. I'm not in the "convincing" business.

Default.

Yup.

Just showing how it would play out.

Good eye and great correction.

Appreciate the replies. Been told to store the allowed account numbers in an array and check if the current account number is equal to any of the account numbers stored in that array. Can anyone show an example please?

Why would it matter?

After a single account, anybody can clone using the investor password on any live trade.

The only way we have bypassed the bulk of users not cloning is by giving up licenses with charitable donations.

Seriously...who wants to fuck over a charity and their Karma?

The EA doesn't trade by itself, it just executes a buy or a sell signal while being connected to a server application that I have. Let them copy that while nfp is running and let's see where they do get filled. I'm not a coder and not even close but I'm a 10 years trader.

Let's see how logging into your server runs through NFP.

Only suckers trade that shit anyways.

I think I'm done here...wish ya the best of luck though.

Your professionalism and gracious attitude are highly appreciated. Good enough that you're done and you don't want anything to do with suckers like myself. Appreciate your help anyway.

Below is a bit simple but works without an array. Beware though as is, the comment will continue to generate or a Print command will continue to print.

Inserted Code
if ((AccountNumber != Account_1) || (AccountNumber != Account_2) || (AccountNumber != Account_3) || (AccountNumber != Account_etc) )
{Comment(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_SECONDS), "  ERROR !!! Account not approved !!! "); return(0);}
else
if ((AccountNumber == Account_1) || (AccountNumber == Account_2) || (AccountNumber == Account_3) || (AccountNumber == Account_etc) )
{Comment(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_SECONDS), "  Account Approved.  ");}
