Is historical tick data available for expired CME quarterly contracts beyond the standard window — e.g., MESZ25, MESU25? If so, through what package and at what cost?

I have the Denali CME feed active and can currently download MESH26 and later. I am willing to pay for an additional package or data service if one exists.

Historical tick data is available for the MES going back to when it was first introduced in 2019.

For how much historical data is available from our data, refer to the following:
Sierra Chart Historical Data Service: What is Included

You do not need anything special to access the historical data. Any package can get the historical data. You do not even need to have an exchange active.

If you want to open a specific contract, then you need to use the format for the symbols for the service you are connected to. For instance, if you are connected to "SC Data", then you would enter the following to open a chart for the December 2020 contract for the MES:
MESZ20-CME

Also refer to the information for Continuous Futures Contracts at the following link:
