Hi everybody,

I have a problem with the tag events in a gateway EDGE edition.  
I have checked that when i make a simple memory tag with a simple tag events script  
like this one, for example:

def valueChanged(tag, tagPath, previousValue, currentValue, initialChange, missedEvents):  
[tab] system.tag.writeAsync("[edge]Edge Nodes/hidros/menuza/Test2", 1)  
[tab] print ("hey")  
It doesn´t fire whenever the current value change.  
I change the value tag and never fires the script, don´t know what´s happening.  
Any idea?  
I have noticed that when I reinstall ignition edge it starts working again but suddenly it stops working again.  
It doesn´t matter the Ignition EDGE version because i have tested in several version 8.1.x  
Thank you very much.

Ignition EDGE doesn't run any gateway scripts (tag events or gateway project events) if you don't have the Compute plug-in. Check your license.

Thank you Phil,  
Then, i need the "Compute plug-in", is this the name of the module i need to install?.

It isn't a module, precisely, but an Edge "feature" plugin. Contact your sales agent for pricing.

IIRC, Compute features only recently became available in Trial Mode. In older versions, you actually have to have a real license to even test this. Your report suggests you have modern version where it works in trial mode, then your trial expires and it stops working.

Do tag event scripts within project/designer like the one in the image below work in Ignition Edge?

Only if you have the compute plugin licensed.
