Unattended License without Orchestrator

Help
1

Hi all,

After reading this documentation here:

I was unsure as to whether Orchestrator is required for unattended robots. Could anyone clarify whether it’s possible to have an unattended license for studio without having Orchestrator?

I have the some question about this, can the unattended license running without Orchestrator?

Yes, it is possible to run unattended Robot without Orchestartor. If the Robot is not connected to Orchestrator, you can still license it locally: Licensing a Robot.
If you have Unattended license key, it will know to “behave” as Unattended.

If we locally licensed the Robot as Unattended, it can do work as unattended Robot without connecting to Orchestrator.
That robot can run under locked screen, but you will first have to be logged in to the Robot machine, run your process manually, then lock your screen. Also there is this possibility to run the unattended robot using command line: or schedule it using windows task scheduler.

If you connect it to Orchestrator and run through Orchestrator you won’t need to have access to the Robot machine and you can run your process(Start a Job) from anywhere.

Hi @yogesh_nagar

Did you resolve this issue? Installed the uiplatform.msi with the code and also activated the license using the cmd prompt.

Hi @dssingh17

Please make sure that the Robot is properly connected. The tray agent should display it like so:

Currently using the Community Cloud service but when I looked at the documentation link it spoke about a LicenseTool utility. When I checked my UIPath folder i did not find any licensetool.exe file and even when I tried to run the command to make sure it did not work. Would like to know if I did not get the license tool utility since I am using Community Cloud.

I have not used Community Cloud service so not sure about the scenario.
