No, it's available to everyone although I think it is only described in the beta release notes and has not made it to the main documentation (at least I couldn't find it).

It is similar to the DOM where you can only have a max of 5 concurrent TickByTick streams. This probably keeps the bandwidth requirements within what they can handle.

FWIW, Nick is a long-time TWS API guy who is solid and knowledgeable.
 
May I see a screenshot with two L2 Windows.

Thank you srinir. I did not know that they offer more than 1 for options, but I expected he was talking about equites not options.
They do offer for equities, futures and options. I do not believe they have any restrictions on number of windows or securities.
