Good morning  
I'm trying to run " **runScript**" function from an Ignition **Edge** tag, but I always get the same error:

Although, I can run script from **console** :

Do I need **Ignition Edge Compute** license for this?

Best Regards.

I think you do need the compute license for this, not 100% sure.

Yes. Expression tags run in gateway scope, and gateway scripting in Edge is only available with the Compute Plugin.
