Orchestrator and Unattended robot License

Hello Team,

I have an Attended robot license with me and I just wanted to know that is it mandatory to purchase an Orchestrator license for the unattended robot or I can purchase the Unattended robot license without purchasing an Orchestrator license.

Thanks & Regards
Akash

Hey @KWATRA_Akash

Logically it requires an orchestrator to serve the purpose.

But what is the need or scenario you have to buy Un-Attended license to understand and explain a better solution…

Okay. I need to run the processes on a virtual machine. UiPath Studio is installed on the respective VM with an Attended robot license. So whenever any execution is performed, I need to log in to the VM in order to run it.

Therefore, I need an Unattended robot license to run the execution without logging into the VM. However, I am not sure if I also need to purchase the Orchestrator license for the same.

Thanks & Regards

Hey @Nithinkrishna,

Using Powershell scripts.

Hey @KWATRA_Akash

So you mean you have a power shell script in place already which will trigger the robot ?

Thanks

Hey @Nithinkrishna,

Yes, the PowerShell script will trigger the robot then the xaml file.

My only doubt is if it is necessary to purchase the Orchestrator license in order to install the Unattended bot.

Thanks

As already said, Yes @KWATRA_Akash

It won’t be meaningful without that.

There are work arounds to work with Unattended bots without Orchestrator, but it’s best way to have the Orchestrator in place.

Not only for managing the unattended bots, but you can also design you bots by using Queues, Also, you can schedule the bots and many options you have

Hope this may help you

Thanks

Already it was mentioned by @Nithinkrishna and this won’t do in Enterprise Organizations

Thanks
