Hello friends, how can I make my EA have a license that allows the EA to only work on a default broker and thus cannot work on any other broker?

Greetings everyone, please help me friends on this topic that I explain below: how can I guarantee that my Expert Advisor (EA) has a license that enables it to operate exclusively on a default broker and, therefore, cannot be used in any other broker?

in account you can get the broker name, and check if this matches what you specify, otherwise terminate

[lazyfxceo]

In short something like this

#define DEFAULT_BROKER_IDENTIFIER "YOUR_BROKER_IDENTIFIER"
bool VerifyLicense(){
string brokerIdentifier = TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_COMPANY);
if(brokerIdentifier != DEFAULT_BROKER_IDENTIFIER) {
Print("ERROR: Invalid broker.");
return false; // License verification failed
ExpertRemove();
}
return true; // License verification succeeded
}

int OnInit(){
if(!VerifyLicense()) {
Print("ERROR: Invalid license. This EA is not authorized to run on this broker.");
return INIT_FAILED; // Exit initialization process
ExpertRemove();
}
// Continue with EA initialization
return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

Yes you have to open the .Mq5 file In the metaQuotes Editor and you can then manually add the code to the EA, and rebuild

OnInit

Block: Modify Variable

Account - Name:Broker (Store as Variable: BrokerName, store your broker in Input setting of the EA)

Block: Condition

Account - Name:Broker = BrokerName (Your variable storing your sepcific Broker) = True

Block: Terminate
