I have a Gateway talking to an edge device (Opto 22}. I'm using Store and Forward to write to a SQL database. Everything is working as expected. I recently added a second edge device (Opto 22). I can't get the new device to write to the database. Setup is mostly identical to the other edge device. I currently don't have a license on the second edge device and running it in trial mode until I get one. Could this be part of the issue? I'm probably missing something simple.

Silly issue. Restored old edge backup to new device. Backup had my variable historian set to the Gateway. Updated to Edge Historian. Store and Forward started working.
