Exness download for a second device: what to fetch again and what comes with the login
Adding a machine to an existing setup is a smaller job than the first install, and it is a different job. There is nothing to register, nothing to verify, and no new account to create — but the software itself does not travel, so something has to be downloaded on this device too. What follows is the short version of what to fetch, what will be waiting once it opens, and what will be conspicuously absent.
Downloads by the device being added
What each kind of second device needs
Five routes, sorted by the machine that is joining the setup rather than by operating system alone. The account behind them is the one that already exists.
After the install
Waiting inside, and missing from it
The first minute on a new installation is where expectations get corrected. Everything the broker holds is already there; everything the previous terminal built is not.
| Already waiting after the sign-in | Has to be done on this device | |
|---|---|---|
| The account | Balance, open positions, and trade history, exactly as on the other machine | Nothing — there is no transfer, no export, and no waiting |
| The workspace | Nothing carried over | Charts, timeframes, indicators, and saved templates are arranged again |
| Automated trading robots | Nothing carried over — they are terminal files, not account settings | Installed again in the desktop terminal on this machine, if they are used at all |
| Sign-in details | Unchanged: the same account number, trading password, and server name | Typed once here; a browser sign-in may also ask for a one-time code the first time |
| Account settings | Leverage and everything else set in the Personal Area is already in force | Nothing — those belong to the account, not to any installation |
Swipe the table sideways →
A common and sensible choice at this point is to leave the second installation deliberately lighter than the first — a short watchlist and two or three charts, rather than an attempt to reproduce an entire desk on a laptop that gets used twice a week.
Another Windows machine
The second desktop install
There is no decision to make here that was not already made. The same terminal as on the first machine, the same file, fetched from the same place — a second computer does not get a choice about which platform it runs, because that belongs to the account rather than to any machine. What the second install genuinely differs in is everything it arrives without, and that is the subject of the table above.
-
Sign in with the details already in use
The terminal asks for the trading account number, the trading password, and the server name — the identical three values used on the first machine, all of them visible in the Personal Area. Nothing new is issued for a new device.
-
Expect a plain screen, and build from there
Default charts, no templates, no custom indicators, no robots. That is normal and it is not a sign that anything went wrong: those things were files on the other machine. The account behind the plain screen is fully the account.
Three questions that come up at this point
- Does the first computer have to be switched off? No. Two installations can be signed in to the same account at once, and neither pushes the other out.
- Can both terminals be installed side by side? Yes, MT4 and MT5 coexist on one machine without interfering; the account decides which one is actually used.
- Will the two machines show the same numbers? They read one record, so yes — allowing for the moment each of them last refreshed. The login guide covers what each sign-in screen asks for.
Borrowed machines and pockets
Where no download is the right answer
A computer that is not yours
The route worth preferring on somebody else's desk is the one that adds nothing to their machine: a browser tab, no installer, no folder of settings, and nothing for the next person to find. It carries MT5-based accounts. Ending the visit is then a deliberate act — signing out, rather than closing a window and hoping that counted. Web Terminal guide →
A phone joining a desktop setup
A handset joining an existing desk is an addition, not a migration: it becomes the view from away from the desk while the terminal at home carries on. The install itself is a store download — Google Play or the App Store — with a direct APK published on the official Exness website for Android phones that have no Play access, and MT4 accounts taking the MT4 mobile app rather than the Trade app. App and APK guide →
Whichever of these the added device turns out to be, the account behind it is untouched by the choice — the same balance, the same positions, the same details typed in. All a new device changes is where the account can be looked at from. What moves and what stays →
Keeping them current
Versions drift, and only one of the routes fixes itself
Multiply the devices and a small piece of housekeeping appears with them: each installation carries its own version of the software, and they do not all keep themselves up to date in the same way.
Look after themselves
An app taken from Google Play or the App Store updates through the store, which is the least demanding arrangement of the three. On a device used rarely the update simply happens the next time it is opened, without anyone thinking about it.
Wait to be told
An app installed from the official APK has no store behind it, and a desktop terminal is a program on a disk. Both stay on the version that was installed until a newer one is fetched deliberately from the official source — worth remembering on the machine that is only opened occasionally.
Has no version to drift
Nothing is installed, so nothing goes stale: the Web Terminal is whatever is being served at the moment the tab opens. It is the one route where a device used once a month behaves exactly like the one used daily.
None of this touches the account. A newer terminal on one machine and an older one on another still read the same balance, the same open positions, and the same history — the difference lives entirely in the software.
Taking one out again
Removing a device from the setup
Devices leave as well as join — sold, repaired, replaced, handed to somebody in the family. Undoing an install is quicker than making one, and the order matters slightly, because uninstalling first can leave a session that nobody thought to end.
-
Sign out before anything is deleted
Sign out of the Personal Area in the browser and remove the account from the terminal or app while both are still installed. Deleting an application does not necessarily end what it was signed in to, and a wiped machine is a poor place to discover that.
-
Clear anything the browser offered to remember
Saved passwords and remembered forms outlive the software that prompted them. On a machine leaving the household this is the item most often forgotten, and it is the one that actually matters.
-
Then remove the software, and let the account carry on
The terminal, the app, and every local file they created can go without consequence: layouts, templates, and downloaded history were only ever copies of a workspace. The account, its balance, its open positions, and its history are untouched, waiting on whichever device remains.
If a device has already gone with a session still open, changing the Personal Area password from another browser is the immediate move, and anything further belongs with official Exness support inside the Personal Area rather than with any partner site.
Quick answers
Installing on another device — frequently asked questions
Does a second device need its own registration or its own download?
Its own download, never its own registration. The software is local to each machine, so a terminal or an app has to be installed there; the account behind it is the existing one and appears as soon as the sign-in goes through.
Can the installer be copied from the first computer instead of downloading again?
The reliable route is a fresh download from the official exness.com or from the links inside the Personal Area. Passing installer files between machines, or accepting them from anywhere else, is how look-alike software gets onto a computer — and it saves very little.
Will the charts and templates from the old machine appear?
No. Chart layouts, saved templates, added indicators, and expert advisors are files belonging to the terminal that created them, so a new installation opens with defaults. The account, its positions, and its history are untouched by that and are visible immediately.
Which terminal should be downloaded on the new machine?
The one matching the trading account, exactly as on the first machine — the platform was fixed when the account was created and does not vary by device. If both terminals end up installed, no harm is done; only the matching one will accept the account.
Is anything needed on a device that is only used to check the account?
Not necessarily. The Personal Area is a website on the official exness.com and opens in any browser, on any device, with no download at all — enough for deposits, withdrawals, leverage, and looking up the account number and server name. A terminal is only needed for the charts and the orders.
What should be left behind on a borrowed computer?
Nothing. Use the browser route rather than installing anything, decline every offer to remember a password, sign out of the Personal Area deliberately, and remove the account from any terminal that was used there. A closed window is not a signed-out session.
The machine was reinstalled from scratch — is the setup gone?
The workspace is; the account is not. A formatted disk or a new operating system takes the terminal and its local files with it, so the software is fetched again from the official source and the charts start plain once more. Signing in restores the balance, the open positions, and the history in one step, because none of that was ever on the disk.
Is a tablet treated as a phone or as a computer?
As a phone, for install purposes: the Trade app and the MT4 and MT5 mobile apps are published for tablets on both stores, and they behave the way their handset versions do. The extra screen space simply makes the same app more comfortable. A tablet browser can also open the Personal Area and the Web Terminal, though the browser terminal was drawn for a desktop.
How many devices can one account be installed on?
No particular number is set aside here — a desk machine, a laptop, a handset, and a borrowed browser session are an unremarkable combination. What is worth keeping down is the number of devices left permanently signed in, since each one is another open door to the same account.
Do the mobile apps and the desktop terminal have to be kept in step?
There is nothing to keep in step. Both read the same account from the same place, so a trade placed on either shows up on both. Only the local decoration — watchlists, chart arrangements, alerts — is per device, and it does not have to match.
The same account behind every install
Every terminal and app on this page signs in with one Exness trading account, created on the official exness.com — an email address, a short questionnaire, then identity verification in the Personal Area. That happens once, no matter how many devices are added afterwards. A demo account with virtual funds also runs on all four platforms, which makes it a safe way to try a new machine first.
