Good day @lr101 ,

UiPath Assistant and the UiPath Robot service are now user-context aware.
So there are two license contexts:

  1. Robot (Machine) License – used by unattended runs (what’s letting your processes still run fine).
  2. User License (Studio / Attended) – tied to the user signed into UiPath Assistant; this is what determines whether Assistant shows “Licensed” or “You don’t have a license”.

You’re likely:

  • Running as an Unattended Robot (machine) that’s licensed, but
  • Your interactive user (the Windows user signed into Assistant) doesn’t have an Attended or Developer license assigned in Orchestrator.

Assistant shows logs and attended process history only for the user session (Interactive License).
Unattended job logs go to Orchestrator → Monitoring → Logs, not to Assistant.

Since you’re running unattended, that’s expected — the Assistant won’t show logs for those executions.

  1. Go to Orchestrator → Tenant → Licenses → Users & Robots
  • Check if your user account (the one signed into Assistant) has a license type assigned (Attended, Developer, etc.).
  • If it says “Unassigned” → this is why Assistant shows “You don’t have a license”.
  1. Go to Orchestrator → Machines → Licenses
  • You’ll see that the machine has an Unattended license — that’s why jobs still run fine.

You have two options depending on what you want:

Option A – You need Assistant for attended work (to run manually)

  1. In Orchestrator → Tenant → Users, edit your user.
  2. Assign an Attended or Developer license.
  3. Refresh UiPath Assistant → the message should disappear.

Option B – You only use Unattended automations

No change is needed.
Assistant will still say “No license” because it’s not supposed to be used interactively in this setup.
Logs will continue to appear in Orchestrator, not in Assistant.

If you’re using Modern Folders:

  • Go to your Folder → Users → Check that your user is assigned with a role and a license type (Attended/Developer).
  • Then in Assistant, make sure you’re signed in with the same Directory/Cloud user (check top-right profile menu).

Hi,
In UiPath 2025, Assistant now requires a user-level Attended or Developer license to display logs and run attended actions. That’s why it worked in 2024.10.8 without a license, but shows “You don’t have a license” in 2025. Unattended robots still run fine. I hope that clears out things.
Cheers!!

So something that used to be a feature is now no longer a feature? :upside_down_face:

@lr101

May I know which license you are on?

ideally you need a attended license or developer license to run the automations from assistant

can you confirm the licenses for only and new ones?

cheers
