No. Power Automate Desktop does not support parallel execution of flows. You can only run a single flow on a single machine. The only exception to this are Windows Server machines that support parallel sessions and then you can run flows on each separate user session.

There is no defined limit and Microsoft has never set it. I've specifically asked this and they did not have an answer. But I have installed PAD on at least 7 machines for a certain client using the same license and that works fine so far. MS might implement some limitations in the future, but it seems like there aren't any at least to a small scale at this point.

Thank you @Chetan_Ninghot for your valuable feedback. Would need clarity on 1 more doubt i have regarding unattended run is that: Can we execute multiple processes/Flows on same VM at same time using single Unattended license or we need multiple licenses only then we can run it?

First of all, the only way to have several flows (regardless of license) on a single VM is if that VM is running on a Windows Server machine and you have several different user sessions - one flow per user session. See here for reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/run-desktop-flows-concurrently

As to licenses, if you do it using unattended licenses, these support 1 concurrent flow run per license. So, even if you did have a VM with Windows Server set up to run flows concurrently via different user sessions, you would need an unattended license for each concurrent flow run you want.
