Abstract: If super-Yang-Mills theory possesses the exact conformal invariance, there is an additional modular invariance under the change of the complex bare charge au=fracheta2pi+frac4piimathg2longrightarrow−frac1au. The low-energy Seiberg-Witten prepotential calF(a), however, is not explicitly invariant, because the flat moduli also change alongrightarrowaD=partialcalF/partiala. In result, the prepotential is not a modular form and depends also on the anomalous Eisenstein series E2. This dependence is usually described by the universal MNW modular anomaly equation. We demonstrate that, in the 6d SU(N) theory with {it two} independent modular parameters au and hatau, the modular anomaly equation changes, because the modular transform of au is accompanied by an (N-dependent!) shift of hatau and vice versa. This is a new peculiarity of double-elliptic systems, which deserves further investigation.
