I have moved a project from one computer to another. I backed up the project and backed up the gateway. Restored both to the new computer. I have set up a device to access my PLC tags. When I go into the Designer I don’t see my tags in the viewer. The OPC browser is grayed out. I see my tags in the Quick Client. Am I missing a connection some where?

Tags are gateway/server scoped.

You’ll need to export your tags from the original computer, and import that as well.
