Hardware / NIC MAC address Lock with Agile

[superg3]

Hi all,

I program using NinjaScript editor and I own Agile professional version.
As I do not use Visual Studio I could not find the way to licensing my indicators with Agile.
I need to add a hardware / NIC mac address lock to my indicators to send it compiled and locked to be used only in the specific user machine with specific network mac address or hardware profile.
I added agile dll's to my indicators.
Could you give me some help how to do that without using a Visual Studio project and just using Ninjascript editor?

Thanks in advance,

Marcos L.

Hello superg3, thanks for your note.

Agile or any third party licensing tool is out of the scope of support I could provide. You can protect your assemblies with agile.net once you have it installed through Tools>Export>NinjaScript addon. Normally the license check is done from the constructor of the NinjaScript object. The procedure would be to check the license, and if the machine ID/license is not valid, set a boolean flag that will prevent the script from running in OnBarUpdate. Ultimately, Visual Studio will be needed for this. We have an example solution for an Addon here, you can use this as a starting point.

See the download link titled "Download Visual Studio Solution for AddOn Development"

To compile an indicator you must right-click References>Browse>add a reference to the following .dll: Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\NinjaTrader.Custom.dll

Kind regards,

-Chris
