Hi

We have 1 Gateway with Ignition Perspective Unlimited Module and couple more addons to the package. My question is, if we plan to add one more gateway, do we have to pay same price for Ignition licensing as we did for the 1st one?

Can someone please help clarify?

Thanks

With the same modules? Yes.

Our gateway is on VM. Is it advisable to have multiple sites from different regions use same gateway or separate for each?

Basically, what determines the need of a new gateway? Is it a new site with different time zone ?, or any other factors?

Thanks

This is _really_ a question for your sales rep and/or our sales engineering team.

That said, if you are connecting to physical devices like PLCs, you should absolutely have a gateway per physical location.
