What is the difference between Runtime and Developer License?

The Developer License is required for your development machine while you're creating your HMIs and it has no limitations. The Runtime Licenses are needed for each target device where you plan to deploy your project. A Runtime License can be customized in size and capabilities to suit your specific use case perfectly.
