~~Talk to your sales contact--you may be able to use Web Dev on Edge for a fee with a custom license.~~ Without WebDev, and with Edge's restriction on 3rd-party modules, your only other option would be to use low-level java from jython to establish you own listening socket. ~~(Basically, you are going outside the general use case for Edge.)~~ Edit: See below.... ---

WebDev used to be allowed when there were edge "plugins", it was enabled by the "Edge Compute" plugin. I assume it's available now in one or both of the simplified Edge offerings as well. ---

Huh. Just loaded it on my Edge IIoT and it's perfectly happy. I stand corrected. It doesn't show up in the license, but just works. This is all that shows on the licensing page: ![Edge IIoT License](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/f/affc6650bbf96de8a68089d8b91189f1046c5a8c.png) ---

Download the right version of the module file, or extract it from a Zip installer. Add it to your Edge install from the Config =\> System =\> Modules page as usual. ~~Contact IA sales to buy the license.~~ _Possibly not necessary._
