Hello,

I have recently upgraded from Ignition 8.1 to 8.3.3. However, I am now facing some licensing issues, I figured that when was trying to open the Perspective Workstation and was told “trial expired“ (refer to the screenshot 1). Screenshots 2 and 3 demonstrate the module statuses and current licenses.

I have tried restarting the gateway and it did not help.

Thanks in advance.

v8.1 licenses don't work in v8.3. Did you contact IA sales to upgrade your license? (If you aren't under a support contract, it isn't free.)
