Runtime/Unatteneded License Utilization Across Multiple VMs

I have three VMs connected to one machine template, and I have assigned one runtime/Unattened license to that machine template. However, when the bot connects to the first VM, it does not release the license. Consequently, when I trigger the bot on VM2 or VM3, it gets into a pending state. Is there any way to utilize one runtime for three VMs without manually disconnecting the machine from the orchestrator?

Nope, thats not how the licences work, when a machine gets a licence it holds on to it, if you want to be able to run robots on multiple machines you need multiple licences or turn the machines on and off to release the licences.

Hi @Nikhil_Jadhav1
As per my knowledge,
To utilize one runtime license for three VMs, set the Robot type to Floating in Orchestrator. This allows the license to be shared across VMs and automatically assigned to the available VM without manual disconnection.

The image describes floating robots that enable users to utilize UiPath Robot on multiple workstations without being tied to a specific machine, allowing use on up to three machines concurrently with one Named User license, and includes an example of a call center operator using this functionality across multiple laptops.

Happy Automation!

I think this might only apply to attended licences and not unattended, but I could be wrong and will learn something if indeed floating robots can move unattended licences around.

Indeed,
