this was a question from UiPath orchestrator overview for automation developers.
The correct answer is marked as 3, but this seems incorrect based on the typical licensing model in UiPath. Generally, only the active runtime (the job actually running) should consume a license.
A background process typically consumes one runtime license if it is the only job running.
Therefore, the correct answer should be 1, as only one license should be consumed for a single background process running on the machine.
You can raise this to UiPath Academy to rectify it.

thank you for clarification. with one license how many background process can be run simultaneously( they say multiple) but is there any limit?
with one unattended robot license, you can run multiple background processes simultaneously. However, there are practical limitations based on system resources and specific UiPath configurations:
The number of background processes you can run simultaneously largely depends on the available CPU, memory, and other system resources on the machine. Each process consumes some amount of these resources, and running too many processes concurrently can lead to performance degradation.
Although technically possible to run many background processes, it’s essential to consider the stability and performance of your workflows. Overloading a machine with too many concurrent processes can lead to failures and instability.
Thanks,
Ashok
