Kind of a weird thing happening, I’ve now removed all of the modules not included in our license 3 separate times, however, every time the Gateway service is restarted they seem to reappear.

Any ideas on how to permanently subdue these modules such as Instrument interface, Production, SPC, and SPC-Installer?

Thanks.

They must be hanging around in the user-lib/modules folder of your installation directory. Deleting/moving them out of that folder and restarting the gateway should do the trick…

Deleting the module in that folder did the trick, be-it I only found the “SPC” package…

Now I have an OPC Server that is faulted called “Production” and I can’t seem to find where to delete it.
