Guidelines and Restrictions
- Studio may be activated using a Robot license only for limited purpose (and not for the purpose of developing workflows), as follows:
- Activation through the Attended Robot or Testing Robot is limited to debugging (no editing allowed)
- Activation through Unattended Robot or NonProduction Robot is limited to troubleshooting (editing allowed)
- SKUs that include entitlements for Studio and Attended Robots used without Orchestrator are activated with standalone licenses.
- Attended Robots require human intervention and cannot be used as Unattended Robots.
- NonProduction designated products cannot be used in production, nor Test Automation. Automation workflows and Test Cases must not be executed in production or Test Environment using NonProduction Robot licenses.
- TestRobots can run Test Cases in both non-production and production settings, provided their purpose is to test a functionality or scenario and not automating business processes. Although the TestRobot can execute and troubleshoot RPA workflows in non-production settings, using it to handle RPA workflows for business process automation in a production setting is not permitted.
- Disaster Recovery may be enabled only for certain products, as allowed by UiPath, and is subject to the same rules and restrictions as the production license of such product. The production license and the Disaster Recovery setup cannot be enabled at the same time
- For Products managed by Orchestrator and licensed through the Flex Plan, customer must choose one deployment environment for the Product. Customers are not allowed to use the same Product license on Automation Cloud, Automation Suite, and Individual Products ( Windows installer) at the same time. UiPath allows customer to change the deployment environment (ie. Automation Cloud, Automation Suite, Individual Products) during the license term. UiPath grants a 3 (three) months term for completing the migration from one deployment environment to the other. In deviation to the above, during the migration period, customer can deploy the same Product license in both environments. This deviation is limited to once per license term.
- As part of the UiPath - SAP partnership, SAP has endorsed cloud deployment options for several UiPath products. Customers may visit the SAP Endorsed App Store for a full list of UiPath products which are SAP endorsed
- The Platform Tiers provide, for certain software capabilities, as called out in the Individual Platform Components section, one Production instance and a maximum of 3 Non-Production instances, for on premises deployments
Product capabilities are based on availability on Automation Cloud, Automation Suite, and/or individual products (standalone). Refer to Product Availability here.
Flex plan also includes access to 100 Automation Express licenses for users to get started quickly with automating individual tasks. Automation Express runs on Automation Cloud, giving users access to StudioX, Integration Service and Serverless Automation Cloud Robot units.
