RPA Question - Robot & Licensing

Help Studio

Dear forum members,

I would like to address a query regarding my Robotic Process Automation (RPA) project. The issue pertains to the operation of a robot that performs the following tasks: it opens a specific folder and deletes the files contained within it. Subsequently, it accesses a Google page, enters the credentials, clicks and enters certain information. Afterwards, the robot clicks on “export” to obtain a data table, where it is necessary to select all the corresponding checkboxes. Within the export section, there is an option to change the data delimiter from comma (“,”) to semicolon (“;”), and I select the semicolon option. The robot then proceeds with the export process and saves the data file in the transfer folder. Next, the acquired files are transferred to a specific folder in the directory “C:\FicheirosAUTO”. This process is repeated every 3 hours.

However, I would like the robot to automatically terminate its activities after a span of 9 to 12 hours and restart, without any human intervention, at 9:00 AM.

It is important to note that the robot will be running on a server hosted within a virtual machine in picture-in-picture mode, strictly for personal use. I would like to clarify whether a specific license is required to enable the automatic execution of the robot at a predetermined time, without the need for manual access to the server or virtual machine. If so, what type of license would be suitable for this purpose? Additionally, would it be possible to obtain a trial license for approximately 7 days? Lastly, I would appreciate information regarding the associated cost of acquiring an appropriate license for the aforementioned scenario.

Thank you in advance for your attention and assistance.

Sincerely,
José Martins (D4B)

Hi @D4B

I think you are using the community edition, in community edition it has only attended robots.
If we buy the Enterprise edition in this edition it has unattended robots we can run the bot with out human intervention and with out logging in to the VM.
It will run the bot on trigger settings.

If you are not enabled the free license to enterprise edition you can enable to use it for 60 days free. After you want to continue you have to buy the enterprise edition.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @mkankatala

Thank you for the helpfull guide.
It helped a lot!

Do you have any link to an forum to configure and execute an robot without human intervention?
Is it possible to create a process that opens like an virtual machine and I can be able to see the robot and solve any error if it apears? Like Picture-Picture?
