I'm attempting to use Numbered Tokens..

Edited 1593793218
I'm trying to number a series of tokens (Frost Giants, to be specific) and it's not working using the %%NUMBERED%% option. Now, I'm currently a free user. Does that make it unavailable to me? Are little script features like this restricted by account status? If not, here's the relevant information: I have a sheet and a token. The token is set up to have the Nameplate showing, with the Nameplate reading "Frost Giant %%NUMBERED%%" I've set the token as the one the sheet is supposed to use, having removed the old selected token first. Whenever I drag one out to the board, the name on the token reads "Frost Giant %%NUMBERED%%", and doesn't reflect a number. It does this for every token. Any advice?
Here's an image of what I'm seeing, and what the token settings are. They are supposed to be numbered 1, 2, and 3 from left to right.

That requires the TokenNameNumber API script. API scripts require a game created by an active pro subscriber. 
So little features like this *are* restricted by account status. Good to know. Thank you for the quick response.

The token numbering script is a user-created offering, not a Roll20 feature in and of itself. I.e. increasing your subscription level will not automatically "unlock" that feature.
@keithcurtis But if API scripts become available in a game made by someone who is a Pro subscriber, doesn't it mean *just* that? Call me crazy, but that's *exactly* what it sounds like. And for the record, I have no problem with it. It's just good to know that such features are behind a subscription fee. Could be a good idea to have it listed *somewhere* what is and is not available on free accounts.

It does mentionwhat each tier gives here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/why-subscribe-to-roll20" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/why-subscribe-to-roll20</a> It doesnt explain what API Access means there, but it does list it.
I did see that after I posted, when I went to see what the difference was. I couldn't find a way back to this post easily, so I figured I'd admit my wrongness when someone posted again. :)

I just meant that increasing your subscription level doesn't make features like token numbering automatically appear. A user still has to install a script—in case anyone reading along took the discussion to mean that. You might be surprised by the number of folks who upgrade and then try to issue, say, a token-mod command without realizing they must first install token-mod.
That's also good to know. I would have never realized that I needed an additional token-mod on top of all of that to make it work. Thank you for clarifying that.
