Licensing robots for attended automations

To execute attended automations, you need to allocate one or more user licenses to your robots.

The following user licenses are available for attended automations:

• Attended
• Citizen Developer
• Automation Developer

Via Orchestrator

To license a robot for attended automations, first upload and activate a license in Orchestrator, then connect the robot to that Orchestrator instance.

To connect a robot to Orchestrator:

• Configure the Interactive Sign-In in Assistant.
• In the Assistant, use the Client ID connection type, and provide the client credentials.
• In the Command Line Interface, use the--connect command, and provide the client credentials.

Via Command Line (using the License Tool)

To license a robot without connecting it to Orchestrator, use the License Tool activate command in the Command Prompt. The license activation can be done offline and online.

Check out the LicenseTool utility for more commands and parameters.
