We see you are using Interactive Brokers. So on your other computer you need to install Trader Workstation and connect Sierra Chart to that.

Here is the relevant documentation:

An alternative is to run Sierra Chart on one computer and connect to the DTC server in it:

Since you have activated the lower-priced CME Group exchange fee, it is necessary to be connected to your trading account to receive the real-time CME data. This is a CME requirement.

So Sierra Chart will need to be connected to Trader Workstation to receive the real-time CME data from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed to verify you have a trading account.

Or you can just use TWS and Sierra Chart connected to TWS on one computer and use the DTC Server and client to share that connection. Obviously this is more technical and does require some know-how with Internet connections.
