He should stop using that version because he is using an illegal cracked version sold by a scammer. He should go to legal authorities and stop paying to a scammer. End of story.
You are inciting him doing illegal actions. And what you say about differences of 5.4 and 5.6 is total nonsense. There are miles of differences and improvements.

I am telling him the "truth of practical life", he ALREADY paid the money and in no position to get it back, so what should he do now & what can he do now. When his Amibroker will stop working, he will have NOTHING to do EXCEPT to buy a genuine copy, but WHY NOW, why not let him wait & "use" that money up to the extreme he already spent. What I understand, he still did NOT pay whole amount yet OR still he is getting Futures Data from him, so still he may try his luck with it.
I ask YOU, what would YOU do in the same situation after you unknowingly paid this amount to a scammer, how will you get your money back (I don't think there is a way to get that), how would you take action against that scammer (going with the law will cast you more pain and more money in formalities etc), and final choice, buy a genuine copy, that I agree bro that he should BUT WHY NOW, why not after using this version for some time until it gets blocked. AND HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT HE IS USING AN ILLEGAL CRACKED VERSION, in my opinion he is (may be) using the version on sharing basis which the "owner" shared originally.
Further, I have used both 5.4 and 5.6 and using 5.60.2 these days. I request you to read once more what I wrote about the "difference" within both versions. I wrote "Amibroker v5.40 (your version) and Amibroker v5.60 (latest version) are mostly same with a minor changes which usually help the advanced ones and NOT us, the beginners with Amibroker." I consider "him" and "my own self" a beginner with Amibroker and there is NO HARM in considering this bro.
I never thought my words I wrote in my earlier post would cause you (or anybody else) to go deep with regard to judgments for "legal" and "illegal" activities, and if this is the case, I would request Admins to delete my posts within this thread. BUT STILL, I personally am with the opinion that he has now nothing to lose (he lost amount already), so why not let him continue with that version until it gets blocked.
