Licensing

MZpack uses machine-locked licenses that are tied to your hardware. An internet connection is required for initial activation; after that, MZpack works offline.

License Types

License	Indicators	API/Strategies	Duration
MZpack Indicators*	All 6 indicators	No	Subscription or perpetual
MZpack Strategies*	No	Full strategy framework	Perpetual
MZpack Indicators TRIAL	All 6 indicators	No	14 days
MZpack FREE	Limited features	No	Unlimited

* Refers to the w/ Divergence versions of MZpack Indicators and MZpack Strategies.

Activation

When you add an MZpack indicator to a chart for the first time, the activation window appears automatically.

Activate with a License Key

1. Add any MZpack indicator to a NinjaTrader chart
2. The Activation Window will appear
3. Enter your license key in the text field
4. Click Activate
5. MZpack will verify your license online and bind it to your machine
6. When activation succeeds, restart NinjaTrader 8 to apply

Start a Trial

If you don't have a license key:

1. Add any MZpack indicator to a chart
2. In the Activation Window, click START TRIAL
3. A 14-day full-featured trial will be activated
4. Restart NinjaTrader 8 to apply

note

The trial is tied to your machine and can only be started once.

Licensed Features

Each MZpack indicator is individually licensed. Depending on your license package, you may have access to different sets of indicators:

Indicator	Indicators License	Indicators w/ Divergence
mzVolumeProfile	Yes	Yes
mzFootprint	Yes	Yes
mzBigTrade	Yes	Yes
mzMarketDepth	Yes	Yes
mzVolumeDelta	Yes	Yes
mzDeltaDivergence	—	Yes

Managing Your License

Check License Status

Open any MZpack indicator's settings and look under General → Version. The version overlay in the bottom-right corner of the chart shows your license type and expiration date.

Transfer to Another Machine

MZpack licenses are locked to the hardware they are activated on. The same process applies when you replace critical hardware parts (motherboard, CPU) on the same machine — the hardware ID changes, so a transfer is required.

To move your license:

1. Uninstall MZpack from the old machine (if it is still accessible)
2. Purchase the Transfer Service at mzpack.pro
3. Wait for the order to be processed (within 24 business hours)
4. Install MZpack on the new machine
5. Activate with your existing license key

note

The Transfer Service releases all activations tied to your license key. If you have multiple activation slots, you can reassign any or all of them to different machines after the transfer.

Subscription Renewal

When your subscription expires, MZpack indicators will stop loading. Renew your subscription at mzpack.pro, then restart NinjaTrader — your existing activation will reconnect to the renewed license automatically.

Troubleshooting

Common License Errors

Activation Fails

If activation fails:

1. Verify your internet connection
2. Check that your firewall or antivirus is not blocking mzpack.pro
3. Try again after a few minutes — the licensing server may be temporarily unavailable
4. If the problem persists, contact support with your license key and Hardware ID
