Hi All  
I wonder what are the steps required if I were to incorporate Ignition edge gateway into full gateway?  
Are you aware of any gotchas?  
The full gateway is meant to do what old edge gateway was doing + additional functionality provided by the full gateway.  
Regards

Almost trivial, IIRC (haven't done that in quite a while). Restore an Edge gateway backup with the command line while the new Ignition install is stopped. Remove the "edition" setting from Ignition.conf. Use the password reset tool to cause recommissioning (might not be necessary). Start back up.
