Note: You can run the product in the Strategy Tester without completing an activation. The activation field may be left empty, and the EA or indicator will run normally for backtesting purposes.

Note: After activating a product on your account, the activation code does not need to be entered for every new instance of the product. A single activation is enough. Once the product is activated the first time, you can leave the activation field empty on all additional charts or instances, and the product will continue to run without any restrictions.
