Are the Cirrus Link MQTT modules no longer useable in Maker Edition 8.3? I get the following message after upgrading and installing the V5.0.0 MQTT Engine and Distributor modules: ```auto com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.modules.ModuleLoadException: Not eligible for use with Ignition Maker Edition at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.modules.ModuleInstance.setup(ModuleInstance.java:645) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.modules.ModuleManagerImpl.runStartupPhase(ModuleManagerImpl.java:499) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.modules.ModuleManagerImpl.setup(ModuleManagerImpl.java:441) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.IgnitionGateway.startupInternal(IgnitionGateway.java:1211) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.redundancy.RedundancyManagerImpl.startup(RedundancyManagerImpl.java:352) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.IgnitionGateway.initRedundancy(IgnitionGateway.java:787) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.IgnitionGateway.lambda$initInternal$1(IgnitionGateway.java:712) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.execution.impl.BasicExecutionEngine$ThrowableCatchingRunnable.run(BasicExecutionEngine.java:550) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) ``` ---

We just double-checked this and don’t see an issue with Maker Edition 8.3.0 and v5.0.0 of the modules. Are you sure that error is the result of the MQTT modules? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cirrus_link/original/1X/d566816f6be6d57942140cc8f22a7ea3a620a3ce.png) ---

Thanks for the reply! I should have mentioned I am using Docker. I tried a fresh 8.3.0 container and installed the modules through the webpage after activating maker edition, and still no luck. To your point though, there are a few other modules not activating with the same error, so maybe I better reach out to Inductive. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cirrus_link/original/1X/39c1786694ccb78a0ed9767da8606b0aad480d9a.png) ---

Ignition 8.3 requires a restart after module installation. Did you do this as well after the activation of maker edition? ---

Yeah I did restart. Prior to restarting, the modules were just disabled (wasn’t able to enable them). After restart it shows the Fault. ---

Just to close the loop on this, I spoke with Inductive Support and it is a known issue with the GATEWAY\_MODULES\_ENABLED docker environment variable in 8.3.0 Maker. Commenting that out of my docker compose yaml fixed the issue. Thanks again for the help! ---

Thanks for the follow-up!
