This shows as a trial in a “Panel Edition” setup. Will this be looked at soon, or will that be when the final stable edition is out? Or, will it be rolled into the OPC-UA-Drivers module? My head is reeling with the possibilities… ![:scratch:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/76d1620bec252bfac07050c889ff5a91dc8a9c25.gif ":scratch:") ---

Panel Edition is a licensing mode for the Vision module. It doesn’t affect the other modules. The Modbus driver will be packaged as its own module, but you’ll be able to get a complimentary license key for it just like the AB drivers. ---

Ok, just wondering, because the AB packege was validated with the Panel Edition key… Head is still reeling, but now I have to go find something else to bame it on. ![:mrgreen:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/d23659b203d2d24d394be983a52adb2fa6fe23d4.gif "Mr. Green") ---

Yeah we’ll have to update your key to include the modbus driver module. ---

Thank you! With Travis’ help (he’s my new hero, sorry Carl 😆 ) I can now use the driver in a Panel Edition installation. This will make my life easier, because let’s face it: it’s all about me! ![:mrgreen:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/d23659b203d2d24d394be983a52adb2fa6fe23d4.gif "Mr. Green") Kind regards, ---

Glad you got taken care of. In general - new cd keys are being issued with the modbus driver included, but we have to manually add it to existing cd-keys. So if you’d like the modbus driver to be activated, contact your account rep and let them know. They can add it to your cd-key, and you can simply re-activate your software.
