Background Process and liceising

On UiPAth.com it says: “The Background Process is a template for creating processes that can run in parallel on the same Robot…”.

Does that mean with a single robot licens I can run one normal proccess and one background process?

Hey @rickard.nordstrom Yes, that’s correct! With a single robot license in UiPath, you can run one standard (foreground) process and one background process in parallel.

Here’s how it works:

  • A foreground process is the standard process that runs with visible interaction on the robot’s machine, typically involving user interaction or UI-based automation.
  • A background process runs in the background without any user interaction. It’s ideal for automation that doesn’t require UI or is designed to run in parallel with other processes.

This only applies to attended robot licences.
Unattended licences will only run one process at a time, foreground or background.

I just tested to run an unattanded background process at the same time as a gui process and it did not start until the other finished. Thanx for your answer Jon, you saved me a whole lot of troubleshooting. =)
