Can we acquire a new orchestrator license and link it with existing robots and Named User license?
We have 1 orchestrator, 2 dev, 1 non-production and 2 unattended robots. Our plan is to use 1 dev and 1 unattended robot license, 1 named user and integrate with new orchestrator. Do you see any issues in doing that?
We had the following UiPath infrastructure initially:
1 orchestrator
2 Development robots
2 unattended robots
1 non-production robot
2 named user licenses
Of the above, we have used the following for one client:
1 orchestrator
1 dev robot
1 non-production robot
1 unattended robot
1 named user license.
So, we have now 1 dev robot and 1 unattended robot available for another client. So, we are planning to acquire a new orchestrator and 1 non-production robot for the new client to make it another set.
That’s exactly why I asked the question on why you think you want to go for another orchestrator…
In the orchestrator, there is a option to go for multi tenancy… So… wouldn’t that work for you? You can have multiple tenants for each client… and in each tenant, you can use folders to separate their tasks within the tenant… wouldn’t that be a good approach?
@Lahiru.Fernando Having a single orchestrator implies having a single database.
So even if we go by multi-tenant approach, all the clients data will reside in the same UiPath database.This point has been raised by clients as a data integrity violation. So, we have decided not to have a database with multiple clients data; for a new client get a new orchestrator. If within the same client, we need to automate processes that falls in multiple departments within the client, then use multi-tenancy. I hope I am making sense.
You have to give another orchestrator to your next client
But its behaviour append like below
If the orchestrator host on your side and you are giving them to access orchestrator by separate users , yes you can use separate tenant and give to your next client
If you provide separate orchestrator to your first client on host by their on On premise, yes you have to proved separate license to your second client
Anther thing if you purchase orchestrator as bundle(1 orchestrator with those robot and studio)
You cannot separate it
Once you up your first orchestrator its provisioning your bots and studio even you use it or not
Sure ,
I mean that orchestrator license come up with bundle sometime 《it’s as you purchase 》
(1 key use to install orchestrator and your bots and studio aqure license from orchestrator, it doesn’t have separate license key at all)
We cannot go for multitenancy option as I have commented above.
Like you said, I think we have 1 license as a bundle, so I will check with our CSM if we can use some of our existing robots to work with a new orchestrator.
So as from your vendor side ,
Let your vendor to know and demo the benefit and importance of having their separate bot and studios
And let them to buy license via your company
