Runtime / Licenses Math

Hi all,

I understand the basic of Runtime / licenses and Machine Templates.
In the midst of trying to put the two and two together, could someone break this down for me in a digestible way?

My understanding is if there is only 3 runtime / licenses, mean it means that there should only be 3 max foregrounds processes (since it mentions 3 machines whereby one max for each machine) - this i understand.

However, how come it can run up to 5 background processes if there is only 3 runtime/licenses? Shouldn’t the max background processes run is 3 also?

Also a quick follow up question,

Isn’t the answer for this both unattended and attended?
I thought to run automations for (unattended) robots require that you give them a role before hand? Like in the below?
Or am i not understanding the question correctly

I completed agree here. These are wrong. If you assign a robot to a folder without the robot role then I don’t think they will be able to run a job…

Regarding the first one. Its not a far question cause it absolutely can be limited to 3 jobs irrespective of the foreground or background type as you can set robots to only run one job at a time.

I also don’t know where the number 5 is coming from.

Can you share what learning path that is on, it might need updating?

Hi Jon,

Appreciate the above replies.
Yeah some of these questions are quite confusing imo.

As to where I got the questions from is from the following link - specifically the quiz part or “Check your Knowledge”.

Say if indeed the answers to some of these questions are wrong is there a pic from the academy to clarify / escalate this to?

Cheers Jon
