Inconsistencies in Express version

A customer running a model we've built in his Express version observed something interesting: the attached model has a very simple order generator. The three blocks from left to right generate batches, orders within the batch and order lines within the order. Each level passes data such as the BatchIndex, OrderIndex and OrderregelIndex (order line index) down to the next level.

On my PC this works as expected, both with full license and with license disabled. I get the results from the left hand side of the screenshot: different batches with different order line numbers. The customer, however, sees the result on the right, with only 1s in all rows.

What am I missing here?

Update: I have found two issues. First of all the reason it doesn't seem to work in the Express version is that the constant numbers are sampled from stream 100 which is apparently not possible.

Secondly, I had tested on my PC using the "Only checkout features for license type" option. Apparently that doesn't reproduce the problem -- I had to actually return my license to see the problem.

I think I ended up just using a lower stream number and returning the license completely whenever I had to test something for that customer. Never dived deeper into it so if you have also not been able to find any issue based on the description feel free to close.
