Connectivity & Licensing
Troubleshoot WebRequest and authorization errors
Diagnose blocked website requests, failed license checks, and missing performance telemetry.
Troubleshooting
Follow these steps
- Confirm the exact production hostname is listed in MT5 Tools → Options → Expert Advisors and WebRequest permission is enabled.
- Confirm the EA is using the production website URL, not localhost or 127.0.0.1.
- Check the Experts and Journal tabs for the exact WebRequest, authorization, or telemetry error.
- Confirm the license is active, belongs to the correct EA product, and is associated with the intended trading account and server when account binding applies.
- Keep MT5 connected to the internet. A temporary network or server failure can prevent a live authorization check; do not treat a failed request as proof that a license is valid.
- If the issue continues, send support the EA name, MT5 build, broker/server name, and error text with sensitive information hidden. Never send your password.
