Posted on by yiming1

Hello!

I already have a Power Automate per user with attended RPA license.And I created a desktop flow by Power Automate Desktop in remote server,want to trigger the desk flow by scheduledcloud flow.Therefore I need Power Automate per user with unattended RPA License to make the flow run automatically.

My question is below:

・I see the Power Automate per user with unattended RPA License is charged by per bot/month.So a cloud flow or desktop flow need a unattended license to run?It means that if there are two scheduled flows,I need two unattend licenses?bot means flow?

・unattended license is addon license,so I need attended RPA License and unattended RPA License with every flow?Or only one attended RPA License could matchs multiple unattended RPA Licenses?

・To make desktop flow unattended,How can I assign a unattended RPA License to a flow?If I have multiple desktop flows to make them unattended,so I need two unattended RPA Licenses,in this case how can I assign each unattended RPA License to each flow?

Hi @yiming1

To license your unattended process, you’ll need the “Power Automate unattended RPA add-on,” which will cost you $150/bot/month. But for this scenario, you will also need the Per user attended RPA license so that the total cost will be $150 + $40 per month. An alternative would be to combine the unattended RPA add-on license with Power Automate per flow plan, which starts at $500/month – but this isn’t tied to a specific user.
Bot is the thing that could run automation on its own.

The unattended RPA license will allow you to license one bot. It will run a singular instance of a given RPA process. If you need more concurrent instances, you’ll need to acquire additional licenses.
Usually, you’ll purchase the per user plan with attended RPA license, buy the Power Automate unattended RPA add-on license, and then allocate the two licenses. The first license is assigned to a specific user (a service account), and the other license is assigned to a single Power Platform environment. You can achieve the latter by following these instructions:
Navigate to https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com
Select Resources > Capacity from the left navigation
Select Add-ons from the top navigation
Select + Assign to an environment link
Select your environment from the list where you want the unattended RPA capacity to become available
Set 1 to Power Automate Unattended RPA field
Save
This usually takes a minute or two for the environment to refresh. You can verify that the unattended RPA add-on is active by opening a Power Automate flow and changing the Desktop Flow to unattended.

Hope it helps.

Thank you so much!@v-peijunz-msft

In additional,a few further question.
If I have multiple instance like more than two remote server,and I purchase equivalent quantity unattended license.How can I assign each license to each instance?
Or I don`t need to do this?Will it automatically assign license to each instance which need a unattended robo?
And I understand the Power Automate per user with attended RPA license need to be tied to specific user account,but unattended RPA License also need to be tied to specific user account,is this right?

Hi @yiming1

The unattended add-on is environment specific. So, if you have multiple environments that need to run unattended RPA, you need to assign add-on capacity to each of them.
Also, if you need to run multiple unattended desktop flows in parallel in a single environment, you need to assign the right number of unattended add-ons to the environment to support the parallel flow runs.

Here are the docs of showing how to assign unattended add-ons (I also described the steps in my above comment):
Buy Power Automate licenses - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn
Capacity add-ons for Power Apps and Power Automate - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

Hope it helps!

Hello,
I got a question regarding to this.
What if I have several machines in the same environment, can I only use one unattended license for all of them (as long as the rpa process do never happen in concurrence)?
Basically is the unattended license a floating license? That can be used by several machines that are in the same environment?

Thank you,
Carlos
