As you might know, Quantower LLC is a Ukrainian company that is situated in Ukraine and operates under Ukrainian legislation. As for now, PayPal and similar payment gateways don't provide business accounts in Ukraine, that is why we have to use one of the payment processors from Ukraine (WayForPay). Currently, we are working on having a representative in the USA that should allow us to process payments via the popular payment gateways.

The WayForPay company is not a popular payment gateway internationally, that is why many banks don't allow transactions from their accounts to WayForPay automatically without previous verification. That is why, sometimes, you can pay for a Quantower license but your payment stays unfinished and the license won’t grant for your account.

If this issue occurs, you should contact your bank support and ask them to allow the money transactions to WayForPay, and once they do this — you will be able to pay without this problem further.

As a part of an internal anti-fraud system, the WayForPay service can ask you to verify your person via an email letter. This procedure occurs only once, and when you’ve got an email asking about the verification that was really you, who initiated the payment for the Quantower license, you need to provide the requested materials to finish the transaction.

According to the international regulations, the WayForPay service requires a 3D Secure verification during the payment for extra fraud protection. Typically, you will be redirected to an authentication page on your bank’s website, and need to enter a password associated with the card or a code sent to your phone. This process is familiar to customers through the card networks’ brand names, such as Visa Secure and Mastercard Identity Check.

In case you can’t or don’t want to deal with the WayForPay service, you may also try the Coinpayments service, which is another option of payment for the Quantower license. This service is mostly for crypto-transactions but it also supports fiat payments.

For those who want to purchase a Lifetime license, there is a wire transfer as an alternative.

Quantower requires a specific set of PC requirements to be met in order to install correctly:

• Windows 10 with the latest update
• .NET Framework v.4.8
• Available disk space - 1 GB (depends on the volume of loaded history)
• The hardware requirements for Quantower depend upon what you are doing with it. Most desktop systems can run Quantower without any difficulty.
• The following hardware specifications are very much recommended for a fast system: 16 GB RAM, a minimum of 4 core CPU, and an SSD (solid-state drive).

You can install and use the platform on several computers only with a free license. When a user login with a paid license on one computer, the platform will automatically log out the license on another computer. Thus, one paid license cannot be used on several computers simultaneously.

If you need to run Quantower on multiple computers at the same time with a paid license, you would need multiple licenses.

Data is not included with the Quantower platform. We have 40+ supported brokers and data feeds available to meet your broker and/or data feed needs.

You can connect to as many of our supported brokers and data service providers as you like. In our knowledge base, you will find guides for connecting to various brokers and data providers.

Each trading panel has an "Account" field where you can switch between your active accounts. Clicking on this field, you will see a drop-down menu from which you can select the required trading account.
