Updated to V8.0.27, but no Rithmic option available

[kaustubhjagtap]

I was contacted by NinjaTrader to beta-test a tradovate connection. I downloaded the latest NT8 version and inputted the NT8 provided key - "Redacted" However, I no longer see the option to add a Rithmic Connection (see screenshot below). I only see the option to add a tradovate connection. If I add my lifetime key, then I no longer see a tradovate option. I need to be able to trade with a Rithmic and a tradovate connection (for different prop firms). How can I go about this? Please HELP

Hello kaustubhjagtap,

Thank you for your post.

Your connection types available are due to your license key. Please ensure your license key is input into the platform. To update your license key, first, disconnect from any data feed. From the control center go to Help > License key > Copy and paste the key from the license key email > Press "OK" to save the change.

Good for you!
Do you have an existing Tradovate account to test with?
Is that necessary?

Did they contact you via email?
Surely the email they sent you contained instructions.

[EDIT: I'm not involved with the beta-testing, just offering some
extra insight ... details from SeanH seemed kinda sparse.]

Yep, makes sense -- the license key they provided you is
probably for testing the Tradovate connection only.

What do the beta-test instructions say?

Yep, that makes sense, too.

I presume the ability to test Tradovate requires you use the
license key provided.

In order to setup both Rithmic and Tradovate connections at the
same time, you'd probably need a Multi-Biroker license key.

I presume neither your personal lifetime license key or the testing
license key they gave you is an M/B license key.

But ...
I'm also presuming that because the Tradovate connection is
under going beta-testing, current M/B license key holders will
not be able to see the Tradovate connection anyways.

What to do?

1. Refer back to the beta-test instructions. Can you send a private
email requesting your special test license key allow both Rithmic and
Tradovate connections?

2. Do you have a spare PC? Can you install NT8 to a spare
PC and setup the Tradovate test license key there?

I appreciate your in-depth feedback. I realized that I may need a multi-broker license to make that happen. It was surprising as the original Beta testing email instructions showed a screenshot with the RIthmic and Tradovate options in the list. I assumed that the beta test key that NinjaTrader Brokerage had provided me with was not an MB key. I will have to now either use two machines/ VPS to trade simultaneously between the multiple accounts.

Thank you,
