Short Answer: No, but there's an important distinction
You cannot buy a license and give it to another person to use on their machine. Each license is tied to a specific Machine ID, so if someone else wants to use Replikanto on their own computer, they need to purchase their own license.
However, you can let others use your license on YOUR machine. If you have a trading assistant, family member, or colleague who uses your computer, they can use your licensed installation. The license follows the machine, not the person.
How License Ownership Works
FlowBots licenses work differently than many other software products. Here's what you need to understand:
- Licenses are tied to Machine ID, not email — When you purchase a license, it's linked to the NinjaTrader Machine ID of your computer, not to your email address or user account.
- Anyone can use on your machine — Multiple people can use Replikanto on your computer under your license. The software doesn't track who's clicking the buttons.
- Each machine needs its own license — If another person wants to run Replikanto on their computer, they need their own license tied to their Machine ID.
- Licenses are non-transferable — You cannot sell, gift, or transfer your license to another person. The license is for your use only.
Can I Buy Multiple Licenses?
Yes! If you want to set up multiple computers (like a home office and a remote office), you can purchase multiple licenses — one for each Machine ID. Each license will be tied to a specific computer's Machine ID.
What About Support?
Technical support is only provided to the original purchaser. Even if others use your license on your machine, only you (the person who bought the license) can contact FlowBots for technical support.
Additionally, only the purchaser has the credentials needed to manage Machine ID changes on the FlowBots website. If someone else is using your license and needs to move it to a new machine, you'll need to handle that for them.
Transferring Your License to a New Machine
Sometimes you need to move your license to a different computer — this is allowed. Common reasons include:
- You upgraded your computer hardware
- You reinstalled Windows
- You installed a new version of NinjaTrader
- You're setting up a new trading workstation
To transfer your license:
- Install Replikanto on the new machine
- Get the new Machine ID from NinjaTrader
- Log in to the FlowBots website with your purchaser credentials
- Update the Machine ID associated with your license
Important: After changing a Machine ID, there's a 2-hour waiting period before you can make another Machine ID change. This prevents abuse and ensures license stability.
Summary
- Can I let others use my license on my computer? — Yes, anyone can use your licensed installation on your machine.
- Can I buy a license and give it to someone else for their computer? — No, licenses are non-transferable and tied to specific Machine IDs.
- Can I buy licenses for multiple computers? — Yes, you can purchase multiple licenses, one for each machine you want to use.
- Who gets technical support? — Only the original purchaser receives support, even if others use the license.
If someone else wants to use Replikanto on their own machine, they should purchase their own license directly from FlowBots.
