Why does the NinjaTrader machine ID change?

The Machine ID is generated by NinjaTrader based on a PC's fundamental hardware and software. A change in the following is likely to cause a change in Machine ID:

• BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) / UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) version
• Windows Operating System Update
• Firmware Update

If you have a valid FlowBots product licence and when you start the NinjaTrader an invalid licence vendor notification window appears, this is a sign that your machine id has changed.

If the machine ID has changed, you will need to go to our License Manager page to update the machine ID that is linked to your product license.
