I still have package 5, and I have tried both CQG data feed options (FIX Trading & webAPI).
This is the error I'm getting:

CQG FIX: Not connecting to trading server because Username is not specified. | 2016-03-31 14:27:05
CQG FIX Trading | Connecting to market data server api.cqg.com | 2016-03-31 14:27:05

Error connecting to Data or Trading service. For help with this issue, press the 'Send For Analysis' button on this window. | 2016-03-31 14:27:05

Should I put my CQG login credentials under "Data Connection Details", or "Fix Trading Connection Details"?

Can you help me establish where I've gone wrong?
Thanks,

You need to enter your CQG Username and Password for both the Data Connection and the Trading Connection.

And you need to tell your broker about this:

I checked with my broker, ADM, and they confirmed that I am enabled for Sierra.
They say the issue is with Sierra Charts. I've already updated SC to current version.
This is a larger excerpt of what I'm seeing...

There are 2 ways you can solve this.

Contact your broker and have them contact CQG about this and resolve this problem for you:

CQG FIX Trading | Market data logon unsuccessful. Server message: Trader is not enabled to use SierraChartData. Please contact your FCM. | 2016-03-31 17:05:25 *

Or instead of using the CQG data feed which your broker has not yet properly authorized your account for, you can use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

We explain this in the CQG setup instructions 3 and 8 here:
