Same Machine ID on 2 different dedicated servers (VPS)

[ftsc2022]

I have 2 dedicated VPS servers that I am trying to license 3rd party add ons.

I did a fresh install of NT8 directly from https://ninjatrader.com on the new 2nd dedicated server.

For some reason, the machine ID is exactly the same as my first dedicated server - and so it is messing up the ability to license and use the 3rd party add-ons since it is generating an error that "this machine ID is already licensed"

I have checked with my host, and they assure me they are completely different dedicated machines, with different IP addresses etc...

How can this be? And How can I get a new machine ID for the 2nd machine so that I can license these 3rd party add ons?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.


NinjaTrader does not control your machine ID directly. Your machine ID is generated by NinjaTrader based on your PC's fundamental hardware (like RAM, motherboard, etc.) and fundamental software (BIOS/UEFI version, Windows updates, firmware updates, etc.).

You will need to address it with your VPS provider, who should be able to narrow down how to get it to differentiate.


Let us know if you have any further questions.

We can set you up with a 2nd machine with a different machine ID, take a look at the options here and reach out if you have any questions: https://ninjamobiletrader.com/index.html#download

The issue is that with identical hardware you will have identical machine ID's. NinjaTrader support has no control over that.
