Power Automate Desktop Licence Clarification

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by CU23080341-1 2

Hi,

I have created several desktop flows using actions such as Set Variable, Display Message, Get Files in Folder, Move Files, Rename Files, etc.

I would like to confirm whether Power Automate Desktop is included under my Office 365 E3 licence, as I am unsure if the access/functionality could have been disabled by IT.

Thank you.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
     
    There are several tasks that can be automated via Power Automate desktop in the free version. Microsoft 365 E3 does not give access to premium actions and connectors. Actions that need a premium license are indicated with a diamond. This video is a good explanation of the licensing for Power Automate desktop: Complete Power Automate Desktop License Guide
