Unhappy Flexsim 5.x and above - run time limitation question

Can someone from FlexSim tech support confirm that models authored in Flexsim 5.x and above that dynamically create / destroy tree nodes will run successfully when deployed to production on a FlexSim run time license?

So far (upto 5.x) we were unsuccessful in deploying our models with this feature into production due to run time license limitation.

Has this critical issue been fixed in FlexSim 6.x , since our users are not willing to spend $$$$$ on full development license.

Thanks

Treenodes or objects? If objects, does the original object (from which the copies are made) have an itemtype attribute in the saved model?

Treenodes. We typically create them by thousands (following a heirarchy model - ex: pedigree tracking) & destroy them as they are no longer needed. We use them typically to stash information related to each level (in a multi-level structure) to enable dynamic decision making. We access the nodes via index to minimize/eliminate search/seek times.

Treenodes should be fine in the latest (6.0.2). We've refined the createcopy() runtime limitations in different versions so you would need to test it for a particular version if you are targeting something other than the latest.

I can assure you that this limitation existed up until the 5.x version of our model. Can you confirm that the dynamic treenode creation works with 6.x runtime version of Flexsim? The only reason is I need to instruct our client to place an order for correct type of license (dev vs. runtime) and as you can imagine there is a huge difference in price between the two based on your answer
