For important information about this product release, go to the AVEVA Global Customer Support (GCS) website. Information on the GCS website includes product requirements, compatibility, as well as downloads from previous releases. After you log in, you can filter search results by product name and the release/version.
AVEVA Edge and AVEVA System Platform both use Industrial Graphics. Because of this, AVEVA Edge 2023 can only coexist with AVEVA System Platform 2023, AVEVA System Platform 2023 Patch 01, and AVEVA System Platform 2023 Patch 02.
AVEVA Edge 2023 is compatible with AVEVA Historian Server 2023 and later. If you are using an older version of AVEVA Historian Server, upgrade to AVEVA Historian Server 2023.
AVEVA Edge 2023 and earlier versions of AVEVA Edge use different versions of Industrial Graphics that cannot coexist. If more than one version of AVEVA Edge with Industrial Graphics is installed on the same computer, Industrial Graphics won’t work for either of them, and attempting to use Industrial Graphics may cause an abnormal program termination.
In order to install AVEVA Edge 2023 with Industrial Graphics on a computer that already has an earlier version of AVEVA Edge installed, first uninstall the earlier version of AVEVA Edge or use the installer (setup.exe) to modify the previous installation to remove Industrial Graphics.
This is a summary of important features and enhancements that have been introduced in this version.

The AVEVA Enterprise Licensing system is a common platform that allows you to manage AVEVA Enterprise Software product licenses. It is composed of a browser-based License Manager and a License Server that together allow you to share and deliver licenses for your installed products. It has the following features:
Note: AVEVA Enterprise Licensing installation requires your Windows operating system to be up to date.
Note: The License Manager requires internet access. See the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Guide for more information and workarounds.
Note: If you are using AVEVA Enterprise Licensing for AVEVA Edge and you have more than one license type, you must create a device reservation for every device running AVEVA Edge.
Choosing the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing option during installation will copy the files to the <installation folder>\Redist\AEL\AVEVA Enterprise Licensing <version number> folder, and install the License Server and License Manager. You will also be prompted to run the Configurator at the end of the AVEVA Edge installation process.
You can install the License Manager on another machine to manage License Servers on this and/or several other machines. For more information, see the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Guide (AELicenseManagerGuide.pdf) in the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing <version number> folder.
AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Known Issues and Workarounds
There are two known issues involving the Configurator. Refer to the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Guide for more information.
The user interface has been updated and modernized with simplified, accessible icons.
Similarly, the styles available have been simplified to a Light (default) and a Dark mode. To access these, select the Style menu in the upper right corner of the development interface.
There is improved support for Industrial Graphics in this release.
Tags can now be used as array indexes for all tag types, including class tags.
With this release, Industrial Graphic Editor supports import of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as Industrial Graphics. You can import an SVG into the Graphic Editor and the graphic elements automatically get converted to an Industrial Graphic, which can include many primitives. A list of supported SVG elements can be found at SVG Github.
To import an SVG and insert as an Industrial Graphic:
Note: You can import multiple SVG files at once.
OR
You can drag and drop multiple SVG files at once.
CAUTION: You can drag and drop SVG files only if User Account Control (UAC) is turned off. Before turning off UAC, be sure to check your organization's security policy, as turning it off could cause a security issue. If you try to drag and drop an SVG file to the canvas with UAC turned on, a forbidden icon is displayed.
Note:
- If there are any unsupported characters in the name of the SVG or primitive, it will be converted to “_”.
- The SVG element name is used to name the corresponding primitive. If a SVG element does not have a name, then Industrial Graphic primitive type is used to name the primitive. For example, if the SVG group name is "Header", the primitive name in Graphic Editor after import will also be Header. If the SVG group has no name, the same will be named as <primitive type>_<number>, that is group_01.
- Only three colors are supported in gradients. If the SVG file has more than three colors for primitive, the first, last, and middle colors are considered. The middle color is calculated by the formula middle color = (int)((colors.Length) / 2). That is, if there are four colors, then it will consider the second color as middle color.
Limitations of SVG Support at the time of this release
The following features are not supported at the time of this release:
Azure IoT Hub Connections are set up in the Tasks tab of the Project Explorer. The new Internet of Things functions manage connections and interact with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub. These features work only in the Windows SCADA runtime, not in any Embedded runtime.
Internet of Things (IoT) funtions:
Updated Japanese-language messages and menus, improving readability.
There are several improvements to the Linux runtime.
Remote Agent
Tag values for Driver Sheet Station fields

ID |
Description |
|---|---|
1135583 |
Issue: Only the first 512 characters of a String tag are saved when selecting the Retentive Value string tag property for projects running in the Embedded HMI runtime edition on Windows Embedded. Workaround: Limit String tags to 512 characters when running projects in the Embedded HMI runtime edition on Windows Embedded.
|
1631020 |
Issue: Some communication drivers (e.g., MODBU) have not yet been improved to support long strings, which means they are limited to 81 characters per read operation. Workaround: Divide long strings into shorter strings of 81 or fewer characters per string, and then store those shorter strings in multiple device registers.
|
1788460 |
Issue: Screen viewer performance suffers if SetTagDisplayUnit function is called more than 21 times by a screen. Workaround: Limit the number of times a screen calls to function SetTagDisplayUnit to 21 or fewer.
|
2376863 |
Issue: If your Windows Display settings the Scale and layout scale is set to a value other than 100%, the Industrial Graphics editor dialog controls may not display properly. This might be due to scaling of the user interface. As computer displays have achieved higher resolutions, operating systems have implemented UI scaling to ensure that text, apps, and other items are displayed large enough to be usable. This UI scaling can affect the behavior of some apps, especially those that include drawing or rendering functions. Workaround:
|
2400387 |
Issue: On Mobile Access, when Zoom Mode is set to Custom Zoom, the user can use touch gestures on the screen to zoom in, zoom out, or navigate over the screen content. On iOS devices, if you do this and your finger touches an object that has a command assigned to it, this command will be executed.
|
2487802 |
Issue: Verify project can end up taking more than an hour if there unused tags in the project. Workaround: Use the Remove unused tags tool before using Verify.
|
N/A |
Issue: If you install Studio without a license, you can open a project in evaluation mode or demo mode. If you try to open another project, the project will not be opened. Depending on the method used to open the project, you may see an evaluation or demo mode notification, or an error message may be generated. Workaround: Close and restart Studio and open the project. Studio will open with the last opened project in evaluation mode or demo mode.
|
N/A |
Issue: Text Box objects are drawn incorrectly in project screens that are viewed through Mobile Access. This might be due to scaling of the user interface. As computer displays have achieved higher resolutions, operating systems have implemented UI scaling to ensure that text, apps, and other items are displayed large enough to be usable. This UI scaling can affect the behavior of some apps, especially those that include drawing or rendering functions. Workaround:
|
N/A |
Issue and Workaround: Industrial Graphic function SetCustomPropertyValue(name, "value", isConstant): If the second parameter (value) is an array with an array index tag, the function will not work unless you format the parameter as a constant by enclosing it in quotes.
|
N/A |
Issue: Industrial Graphic function SetCustomPropertyValue(name, "value", isConstant): If the second parameter (value) is an array with a array index tag, the function will not work if either the array or the array index has the prefix HMI:. Workaround: Because the preifx HMI: is optional, do not use it for these tags. As noted above, you may also need to enclose the parameter in quotes.
|
When upgrading from a previous major version to the latest major version, you also need to upgrade your software license(s). To purchase a license upgrade, contact your software distributor.
If you do not upgrade your software license(s), it will still run in its full-featured Evaluation Mode for up to 40 hours. After that time expires, however, you can only run the software in its limited Demo Mode.
When you update a major version (such as AVEVA Edge 2023) to its latest minor version (such as AVEVA Edge 2023 R2), you do not need to update your software license(s). The license is for the major version, so it includes all the subsequent updates, patches, and hot fixes for that major version.
Finally, when you open an existing project for the first time in a new version, that project is automatically and permanently updated to the new version. This is true regardless of whether you have upgraded your software license(s). Therefore, you should back up your existing projects before you open them in the new version. Each major version of the software creates a corresponding projects folder (for example, AVEVA Edge 2023 Projects) in your user directory, so you can simply copy (not move) your projects from the old projects folder to the new projects folder.
This section describes the system requirements and additional considerations for installation to develop projects, or to use the computer as a project runtime server and/or thin client.
Standard Requirements
Optional Items
This item is optional because softkey licensing is also available.
This item is optional because many newer device protocols use Ethernet communication (TCP or UDP) instead of serial communication.
One of the following operating systems:
Use the "Pro" or "Enterprise" editions of Windows because they include Internet Information Services (IIS) as a pre-installed feature that can be turned on. Do not use the "Home" and "Education" editions of Windows, because many features are hidden or disabled in these editions.
You can install the full software on a Windows Embedded device if it meets the system requirements listed above. If you do not plan to develop projects on that device, install Embedded HMI instead. For more information, see the Help Manual.
Update Windows before you install the software so that you have the latest security fixes and system components.
If you are using IoT View on a Linux target station, here are the software and hardware requirements. For more information on installing, running, and using IoT View, see the Help Manual.

If your architecture is not covered by the table above, contact your software distributor. IoT View can be compiled for most modern operating systems.
This software requires .NET Framework 4.8 (or later) installed and enabled.
If Windows is fully updated on your computer, the latest versions of .NET Framework should be installed, but they might not be enabled. Use either the Windows Features control panel in Windows or the Server Manager console in Windows Server to confirm that .NET Framework 4.8 is enabled.
In some cases, it might not be possible to update Windows through normal means. For example, if your computer is on a private network without access to the Internet, it might not be able to contact the Windows Update service. You can use another computer to download an offline installer for .NET Framework and then transfer it.
This item is optional because it is not required to develop a basic project and then run it on a standalone device, but it is required to use more advanced features.
This item is optional because you can always use the built-in Viewer program to view project screens.
This item is optional because you can always use the built-in Viewer program to view project screens.
Previous versions of Internet Explorer are no longer supported. In some cases, you can use Microsoft Edge in Internet Explorer (IE) mode, which enables backward compatibility for legacy websites and applications like Web Thin Client. It is supported with limitations, however, and you might see unexpected behavior while viewing project screens. For more information, go to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/ie-mode
The operating system, storage, and memory requirements will necessarily increase for larger projects; the minimum requirements listed above are only for projects of up to 4,000 tags. The following table shows the complete requirements:
Project Size |
Operating System |
Storage |
Memory |
|---|---|---|---|
up to 4,000 tags |
Windows, Windows Server, Windows Embedded Standard
|
2 GB available |
1 GB available |
up to 64,000 tags |
Windows, Windows Server
|
4 GB available |
2 GB available |
up to 10 million tags |
Windows Server only (multi-core)
|
8 GB available |
4 GB available |
Your computer needs to meet only the minimum requirements when you first install the software and begin to develop your project, but the requirements will increase as your project grows. Every computer or device that you plan to use as a runtime station is subject to the same requirements.
If you are using Industrial Graphics screens, the project should be hosted on a dedicated Windows system with IIS installed. The additional system recommendations for this dedicated system are:
These recommended requirements are suitable for a system with ten clients, browsing pages with approximately 40 dashboard/charting components with ~250 I/O tags on the page. Pages may take a longer time to display on the first visit. The display time depends on graphics and script complexity. Additional clients can be supported by increasing the number of CPU’s, CPU speed, and Memory.
You need to have administrator privileges on your computer to install any software. If you are not already signed on as a user with administrator privileges when you run the software installer, you can choose to run the installer as an administrator. To do this, right-click the installer program file (setup.exe), and then on the shortcut menu, click Run as administrator. You will be asked for the appropriate username and password.
On the Select Features page of the installation wizard, you can select which features and software components to install. If you deselect features that you know you will not use, you will decrease the amount of hard drive space required for installation.

This section describes issues that might occur during installation.
"Failed to complete script based install"
You might receive the following message during installation: "Error 1628: Failed to complete script based install." For more information about this issue and how to resolve it, go to: https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallShield-Knowledge-Base/Error-1628-Failed-To-Complete-Script-Based-Install/ta-p/4014
"CodeMeter Development Kit is already installed"
