Licencing query - Multiple users in one machine (not concurrently)

Hello,

I have a licencing query around making use of one machine where multiple processes need to run at different times and each process needs to run under a different user account. Can one unattended licence achieve this, or would the number of licences need to equal the number of different users that will be accessing the machine?

I have described an example series of runs below to better illustrate my question:

09:00 - Unattended Process 1 begins as user User1

10:00 - Unattended Process 1 ends

10:30 - Unattended Process 2 begins as user User2

11:00 - Unattended Process 2 ends

To achieve the above do we need 1 unattended licence, or 2? We are using a self-hosted machine connected to the Automation Cloud Orchestrator.

Thanks in advance!

1 is enough …create a machine template and use

cheers

Thanks for your reply - would we need to create a new machine template or could we just update the existing one to allow 2 runtimes? What are the exact steps please

@Peter_Heyburn

If you already created template and connected using machine key then no further steps

Cheers

Thanks, I will test and if all works I will mark your answer as the solution.
