I have installed uipath studio community edition in my local computer and also in an EC2 machine in AWS. I used a different email address to connect both installations so that I have 1 community edition license for each.
Question : Can I use those 2 community edition licenses in order to get 2 robots from those 2 machines (my local and aws vm) on the same orchestrator tenant ?
For now the result I managed to get on the same orchestrator tenant is :
connected and licensed for the robot on my local machine
but only connected and unlicensed for the robot on the aws machine
So again is this result because I did something wrong in the configuration or is it because we can’t take advantage of 2 community edition licenses on the same tenant in orchestrator ?
Yes you can connect to one orchestrator as you have two different machine instances installed with two installer file where each one will have a separate robot available to connect to a orchestrator
One orchestrator can be use as a common place to host those two robots
This will appear if the robot is not created in or not connected with orchestrator
Check with robot tab
Try to recreate and connect with orchestrator
I removed the 2 machines in orchestrator.
Created 2 new machines
1/ machine 1 with my local computer hostname
2/ machine 2 with the AWS virtual machine hostname
I copied the URL of my orchestrator and the machine key of machine 2 and pasted them to the uipath assistant of my AWS virutal machine, result : Connected and licensed
I then copied the URL of my orchestrator again (same URL as earlier) and the machine key of machine 1 and pasted them to the uipath assistant of my local machine, result : Connected and Unlicensed
The uipath assistance of my local pc is showing now : Connected and licensed
Now I have 2 connected and licensed system on 2 different machines but I am not sure If I really have the 2 unattended robot I want, why do I need to enable attended robot to each user to get the license working when I only need unattended robots ? I thought the attended robot option was just optional but if I dont enable it, the license dont work
I tried to run a process from orchestrator with this configuration, the process runs successfully but nothing happen in uipath … as if my program was totally empty but I do have an input dialog activity + a message box and that’s the sequence I published to orchestrator, how come the process runs successfully in orchestrator but the automation does not run on my computer ?
My unattended robot must not be configured properly isnt it ? Looks like I managed to connect attended robots but not unattend robots because if I disable the attended robot option in my users my uipath assistance goes unlicensed immediately
Not really
If you are looking for unattended process then go for Unattended bot or if it is with attended process then use attended bot
So it depends on what process demands
More than that you won’t be able to run a attended bot from orchestrator we can just connect the bot and won’t be able to trigger those from orchestrator
And this occurs only when robot is not in created
You have the machine configured with machine key but is any robot created with that machine in orchestrator
Only it then becomes licensed
