Ignition Edge Store and Forward with Canary Historian

Hello,

we have a client that wants to use Ignition Edge as a local fallback. They also use canary as their historian. The main Ignition gateway has canary collectors set up. If the wastewater plant loses connection to the main plant and the main Ignition server, the Edge machine would be used to locally monitor and control the WW plant. That’s the easy part.

They also want the ability to store and forward data from the edge machine to the main Ignition gateway once the connection is restored. Is this possible even though they’re using Canary as the historian?

I would think the Canary Collectors would be at the edge - then it would naturally store and forward using the Canary S&F - Though I don't remember the rules with Ignition Edge and 3rd party modules to have the Canary Module at the edge.

If this is possible this would save us a lot of headache. I did try and add the Canary module to a test Ignition Edge instance I made. I see this error, but I'm not sure what license is it talking about. Is it referring to the Ignition Edge license or the Canary module license?
