Share New Research 
I like to deploy to live.
When I tried to add live node, it says it requires at least one researcher seat.
So, I purchased researcher seat along in the morning.
Then, in the evening I tried to purchase live node, it asks additional “Researcher” seat although I have already researcher seat.
It doesn't allow me to check out.
Is this a bug? Or for each live node, it requires additional researcher seat along with the node?
I put this explanation in “Contact us” page and click “Send Message” button. I cleared out the message and did nothing. No confirmation and no email for the message. It seems it's broken.
I'm not sure someone can help here, but please help.

Terra Lim,
Hi there so no response yet. Hmmm. I'm not claiming to be an expert but wanted to try and help. Maybe we can figure this out together. :)
In my plan I did a custom plan purchased the Researcher Seat along with a backtest node and two live nodes. When I look at computer nodes it does not show additional Research nodes. I am able to edit two strategy sessions.

Hi Terra
QuantConnect's pricing has two components; a software license and the resources used. This allows you to scale up the hardware you need for your project. The software component is the seat license (researcher etc.), then you add the necessary hardware. This allows our cloud to be flexible and suit the needs of many different research styles.
We charge the software license(researcher etc.) to maintain the LEAN engine. If you compare our hardware costs to AWS, you'll see we're priced the same or cheaper - even without paying for data.

Hi, Terra Lim I believe there may be a misunderstanding, you don't actually buy additional nodes or whatever on the pricing page, instead you change your subscription parameters and pay for difference between old parameters and new ones (with prorated adjustment).
So if you want to have 2 live trading nodes in your account at the same time, you need to choose 1 researcher seat and 2 live trading nodes, on the right it will look like this:
After you checkout, your subscription will prolong for 1 month, starting from today and part of previos subscription that was not used yet will be used as a credit, like this:
as you can see here, there is a Prorated Adjustement that decreases amount I need to pay, this is unspent part of my current subscription. So if you paid for one node and reasercher seat, e.g. 10 days ago, you will have ⅔ of that amount as prorated adjustment.
I hope I explained it, it is a bit complicated.
P.s. if you will need more than 2 live nodes, you will have to switch your tier to at least Team…
