Kepware lastest version have Thingworx Native Interface and IOT gateway plugin that can communicate with Thingworx platform. What's the difference? And how about the licensing when using Kepware with Thingworx?

I notice that IOT Gateway have three purchasing options, and IOT gateway is not included in Manufacturing Suite license. That's say if I got a kepware driver license, I need a extra license for IOT Gateway plug-in. Am I right?

And I can not find any license information for native interface. Is it free for use?
