MultiCharts 64 bit has been available since version 8.0. All modules have been rewritten to 64-bit, so they can use all available RAM on a computer. Performance of the application is now limited only by the amount of physical memory in your computer. Limitations on bars per chart, mapping and importing ASCII files more than 4GB, number of symbols and plots in Scanner, and displaying strategy performance report with large number of trades have been all lifted in the 64-bit version.
MultiCharts 32 bit and MultiCharts 64 bit are '''two separate applications''' that can be installed on the same PC. You can use your license in both programs, but not at the same time. If you like to run both versions simultaneously, please read [How to use your license on two computers at the same time] article.
