'Run desktop flow' action - unattended license

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 115

Hi,

 

We are soon to get an un-attended server license so I can't test this for myself, so can anyone tell me whether using the 'Run desktop flow' action on an unattended server requires two licenses? I'm hoping the that given the initial workflow is paused while the secondary workflow runs its all considered one concurrent flow.

 

Essentially I'm hoping to create a set of library flows that contain common actions such as logging into finance applications then call these flows using the 'Run desktop flow' action, rather than re-creating the same steps over and over within flows.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @SPCloudguy ,

     

    Are you referring to a parent flow calling a child flow which will be reusable across multiple flows? 

     

    You should be able to do that with 1 license and have the desktop flow call another desktop flow here

    Hi Eric,

     

    Yes thats the action I'm using. I thought I'd be ok, but being licencing always seems quite complicated I thought I'd ask first as I'm building things in advance of moving to an un-attended server. Thank you.
