From Google Translate:
With live trading it works now; Become a chart
drawn…. Have Denali Exchange Data Feed Service activated and
Service package 10 selected.

Now I would like to test newly developed software for "AutomTrd"
and I signed up for this with IB via the paper trading account.
IB / TWS also shows / delivers the current course of the GBL, however
on the Sierra website there is the message:

"Connection error message from service: IB. Note: is the IB / TWs
software running and is it enabeled for socket clients! ….Understand
not me

Where is the mistake. IB-Telefonservice says: is on our side
everything OK, it's up to Sierra!

That particular message is stating that Sierra Chart can not connect to the TWS software that should be running on the same computer while Sierra Chart is also running. This is how we communicate with Interactive Brokers - through that software. Ensure that both software are running at the same time - Sierra Chart and TWS.

If you have not already done it, be sure you go through these Setup Instructions for Interactive Brokers as well:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions

Let us know if you are continuing to have issues.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
