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

@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, @DP_9890933 .

 

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