Concurrent Runtime The UiPath RPA Platform component may be licensed on multiple Machines and accessed by any number of Users. The Customer must obtain separate licenses for the maximum number of Runtimes of the Machines connected simultaneously to OC.
UiPath Unattended Robot (UR)

Without Orchestrator
Node Locked The license may be activated on a single Machine. Only one Software Instance can run at a time, irrespective of the number of Users having access to it. The Customer must obtain licenses for the maximum number of Software Instances running simultaneously.
Clarification *Starting with UiPath RPA Platform 2018.1, the Named User license is the successor of the Authorized User license.

Customer is not permitted to:

a) use the UiPath RPA Platform in a manner other than described in the Licensing Models;
b) execute Development Outputs in Production environments using ST or Development Licenses; 
c) create Development Outputs or executing Development Outputs without human supervision using an AR;
d) use Non-Production licenses or Disaster Recovery licenses for other purposes; 
e) alter, adapt, merge, modify, translate, decompile, develop versions, derivative works, reverse engineer, upgrade, improve, or extend, features or functionalities of the UiPath RPA Platform or otherwise derive source code from UiPath RPA Platform, except to the extent Customer may be expressly permitted to decompile under applicable law, if it is essential to do so, in order to achieve interoperability of UiPath RPA Platform with another software program, and Customer has first requested UiPath to provide the information necessary to achieve such interoperability with at least ninety (90) days advance written notice and UiPath has not made such information available; Customer may create works based only on the UiPath Activities provided to the Customer in object code form solely by dynamically linking or referencing the UiPath Activities in the works and provided that such works based on the UiPath Activities are only used in conjunction with the UiPath RPA Platform;
f) remove or modify any proprietary markings included in the UiPath RPA Platform;
g) re-sell, sub-license, assign, transfer, rent, lease, lend or otherwise distribute any license under the Agreement, except as otherwise agreed; in respect to UiPath to UiPath Activities, Customer may distribute works based on the UiPath Activities, developed in accordance with this Agreement, to other third-parties (i) to be used solely in conjunction with the UiPath RPA Platform, (ii) other terms and conditions that are compatible with this Agreement and that do not grant the third-party more rights with respect to the UiPath Activities than allowed in the Open Platform Activity License Agreement ("OPALA"), and (iii) by including a complete copy of the OPALA with the distribution. For the avoidance of any doubt, any and all recipients of the UiPath Activities represent a Customer under this Agreement and are subject to the restrictions herein or OPALA.

Important

ST, AR and UR can be used independently without OC or in conjunction with OC.

Customers purchasing ST in conjunction with OC will be provided in OC with a number of Development Licenses equal to that of purchased ST licenses. Development Licenses are not required and are not provided if ST is used without OC.

UR can be used as AR, in accordance with the AR licensing specifications.

The followings may result in immediate suspension of the relevant license by UiPath:

a) Customer’s or User’s intentional violation of the foregoing;
or
b) any use of the UiPath RPA Platform in breach of the licensing Agreement, Manuals or ordering documents, by Customer or Users, that in UiPath’s judgment, imminently threaten the security, integrity or availability of UiPath RPA Platform.
UiPath will use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances to provide Customer with an opportunity to remedy such violation or threat prior to any such suspension.
