Hello everyone,

we have a problem on ignition edge 8.1.25.  
every time we apply a script "with value change" we receive the following error.

Error compiling event script for event id 'valueChanged'.  
java.lang.Exception: Scripting is not available for this platform edition.

Welcome!

Edge requires the compute add on license for scripting. I thought that was only gateway scripts, is this a value changed script at the gateway level or directly on a tag?

Directly on a tag is also gateway scope, and requires the compute plugin.

On Edge? And not in trial mode?

{ Edge restrictions on gateway scripting go back to the very first versions of Edge. }

Then look at that installation's license for the compute plugin.
