I'm getting this error from SC this morning:

SC Data - All Services | Logon error received from server: Connection limit exceeded. | MaxConnectionsDifferentDevices = 1, NumCurrentConnectionsDifferentDevices = 2 | 2020-11-24 09:48:43.523

Under the licensing agreement, I believe I'm allowed 2 connections. Is this something I can do anything about?

Thanks!

The link posted in #4 is also not relevant. Here's the link that is relevant: Denali Exchange Data Feed: Denali Exchange Data Feed on Two Computers Simultaneously

It's disappointing that other vendors allow for more than one computer, but Sierra does not. It's convenient to have the same data feed at home as it is to have on one's laptop (for traveling, as an example).

I used to have two computers running Sierra with the same data feed at the same time - when did Sierra discontinue this?

Regarding the link you gave in post #5, that is a subsection of the section we linked to. We wanted you to see the entire top-level section and that particular subsection.

This is just not true at all. You can use Sierra Chart on multiple systems according to the terms here:
Sierra Chart Purchase and License Information: Licensing / Number of Systems

The problem you are running into, Is related to exchange market data policy. We have updated this section here to explain this:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: Denali Exchange Data Feed on Two Computers Simultaneously

Therefore bring your complaint to the CME. And if there is any other data provider, allowing you to use CME data on two or more systems at the same time, they are not compliant with CME market data policy. So can you tell us who this is? We are just interested. But we will not say anything to the CME.

You can use Sierra Chart on many computers . The limitation is you cannot access CME data on two systems at the same time without paying two sets of exchange fees.

Figured I would jump into this one since it is related. I have two data feeds, Denali and CTS. Just recently, my Denali feed gives me the error above (Connection limit exceeded) yet I am paying for two separate data. It was working fine last week (live data on both computers). Is there a workaround for this?

Make sure your installations of Sierra Chart are up-to-date. Update instructions:
Software Download: Fast Update

If they are used on different computers, make sure that one of them is not using the Denali data feed. Information and instructions:
