Hi everyone,

In previous versions of Ignition, I used to read the license state from this URL:

```python
http://localhost:8088/main/data/my-module/licenseState

```

with the following code in my module:

```python
@Override
public void mountRouteHandlers(RouteGroup routes) {
    routes.newRoute("/licenseState")
          .type("application/json")
          .handler(this::fetchLicenseState)
          .mount();
}

```

After upgrading to Ignition 8.3, this URL no longer works (returns 404).

- Has anyone else encountered this change in the route paths for custom modules in 8.3?
- Is there a new recommended way to expose module license state via HTTP in 8.3?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

The problem is likely the implicit `main/` - that redirect was deprecated since 8.0, and finally removed in 8.3.

Try just `localhost:8088/data/my-module/licenseState`.

Thanks for the tip! I tried accessing `http://localhost:8088/data/my-module/licenseState`, but I still get a **404 Not Found** error.

Based on the code you posted it would be `http://localhost:8088/data/my-module/component/licenseState`

I had mistakenly put /component in the path and I've fixed it now. Thanks for pointing it out!

Could this be an **unresolved bug in Ignition 8.3**

Probably not, practically every Ignition module that has a route uses the same API.

Does your module hook override `getMountPathAlias` to return "my-module", or if not, are you sure you're using the module id where "my-module" would go? Have you added logging to verify your `mountRouteHandlers` is running?

Ahh, add either:

```python
.accessControl(AccessControlStrategy.OPEN_ROUTE)

```

or

```python
.requirePermission(PermissionType.READ)

```

while building the route.

Thanks a lot! Adding `.accessControl(AccessControlStrategy.OPEN_ROUTE)` fixed the issue. Really appreciate your help!
