Studio unable to run or debug

[antonios_chia]

I am new to everything and trying to learn lots of things from scratch, in particular from the online courses in Academy. However, I recently encountered a problem that I am unable to resolve even after going through many seems related topics in Forum but to no avail. Likewise, I am putting up as much below information so that resolution can be narrowed down effectively. Appreciate the help as it has been bugging me the last 20+ days when Studio is unable to run or debug. Thanks in advance.

Hello @antonios_chia,

Can you check the Robot is running fine from Service Application?

I hope this Link will help you,

Could not connect to UiPath Robot Service. make sure the service is started - Troubleshoot steps

Description Could not connect to UiPath Robot Service. make sure the service is started [image] Troubleshooting steps From the snapshot, it’s evident the Robot service is running. However, please try the below approach & verify after each if it works in your environment. Approach 1: Restart the service manually and check if you are able to Run it back: Go to: Run-> type services.msc->uipath robot-> Right click and start If the options Stop & Restart is not visible, please open services in…

Hi @Pradeep_Shiv (PS),
PS1. When you mentioned “Service Application”, are you referring to “Orchestrator > Tenant > Robots”?
PS2. If yes, the status shows “Disconnected” as mentioned in my initial message.

[Pradeep_Shiv]

No,
This one

Hi… @Pradeep_Shiv,
Tried your suggested link and here are my feedback.

1. Approach 1
   Did not find any UiPath Robot service. Hence, nothing to run, stop or restart.
2. Approach 2
   Completed the steps and still no change.
3. Approach 3
   Completed the steps and still no change.
4. Approach 4
   Mine is personal so no proxy or organisation restriction. Likewise, i was able to learn run or debug my programs when it just suddenly malfunctioned out of the blue.

Hi… @Pradeep_Shiv,
After further observations, i suspect that it may not be my uipath studio issue but rather orchestrator. Feeling that my case may be in limbo, I am now browsing through the forum based on keywords “community connected unlicensed”. While still glancing, i noticed many did not leave a concluded solution when issue is resolved or that the topic just ended prematurely without further thoughts. Hopefully, i can find some traces and eventually leave behind a resolved case description so that others who recently encountered similarly can benefit.

I snapshot
“cloud orchestrator > tenant > robot” as the robot is classified as “autogen\[EmailAddress]”

and even in snapshot
“cloud orchestrator > tenant > machines” also machine classified as “autogen\[EmailAddress]”

Not sure if the classifications are normal but if you are able to diagnose based on these clues, appreciate the feedback as I wanted to get my Studio back in action as it has put my learning to a halt which is frustrating. Thanks.

Hello @antonios_chia,

What’s your Robot Tray status?

[antonios_chia]

hi… @Pradeep_Shiv,
not sure which tray you are referring but here are the snapshots i’ve have gathered for your peruse. still figuring out what really went wrong. please note that i am in community edition. thanks.

1. in “cloud orchestrator > tenant > users > attended robot”, i have modified the license type to “inherit license from user’s group”
   

   

2. when i switched back to “cloud orchestrator > tenant > robots”, the previous robot “autogen…” has disappeared.
   

   

3. i checked the “uipath assistant > preferences > orchestrator settings”, it still showed “connected, unlicensed”
   

   

4. in “cloud orchestrator > my folders > default > robots”, there are no robots shown.
   

   

5. in “uipath robot > settings > orchestrator settings > status”, it also showed “unlicensed”.
