Post From: Using SC Data - All Services with Simulated Delayed Trading and Replay

I'm trying to replay various time frames. I have installed a second installation of Sierra Charts in a separate folder on the c: drive, and this is the instance I use for replaying charts on the Trading Evaluator - Delayed Service. The problem I have is that I can only replay in sim mode. As soon as I scroll my chart back and start replay (Ctrl R), I get a message about enabling sim mode, to which the only action that works is to agree. After agreeing, there is no way to turn off sim mode. The instructions at SimulatedFuturesTradingService.php (Using Internal Sierra Chart Trade Simulation Mode) make it sound like sim mode is an optional feature that can be turned off, but that's not the case. I see that I can use SC Data - All Services to avoid sim mode and then trade on the delayed Simulated Futures Trading Service account. But my question with this is: If I have both instances up at the same time, my main install for live trading and the replay install, and both use SC Data - All Services, will I be violating connection limits with my package level OR Denali Data Feed (or anything else)? Secondly, since I have two installs, regarding my live trading install, should I even be using SC Data Service at all? Is it better in my situation (with Denali) to use SC Futures Order Routing? TIA.
