@DP_9890933 : In the thing did you checked whether the 'industrial thing' property is set to your industrial connection?

Just create again from scratch with simulate value between Kepware Server and ThingWorx fundation

and again the industrial connection is good but the thing still not connected

@DP_9890933 : I suspect that legacy mode is enabled in you Kepware which might be causing this issue. Can you please disable it as KEPServerEX Project Properties > select the ThingWorx property group > set Legacy Mode to Disable.

@DP_9890933 : Can you please check the application key which you have provided in Kepware with which you are trying to connect to thingworx? Please check whether its not expired. I would also suggest to try connecting with an 'Administrator' app key.

HI

 

The expiration date is for 2025 and i just tried with the administrator key and its not working

Hi, @DP_9890933 .

 

We encounter the same problem with you, but we can't find how to switch the Application Keys to DeployerKey.
