E3 subscription and Power Automate RPA

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone,

 

I am a little confused, I have a E3 license. I installed Power Automate Desktop on my computer and created a RPA flow (unattended). It worked.

 

Does it mean that i can create simple RPA flows without purchasing the RPA licenses?

 

thanks for your confirmation

    Hi @Anonymous 


    Unattended RPA is NOT a part of an E3 license. Unattended RPA can only be purchased through the RPA add-on.

    • I want to run unattended flow. What licenses do I need?

      You need either Power Automate per user with attended RPA or Power Automate per flow plans as a base license and Unattended add-on to be able to run the unattended flow.

    • Is buying just the unattended add-on enough?

      No. You need to a have a qualifying base license (per user RPA/per flow) for which the add-on can be added on.

    • I need multiple instances running unattended. Do I need multiple add-ons?

      Yes if you need to run them at the same time. If not, the runs will be queued and begin when the bot is free.

     

    It's likely that you've triggered a trial which will last for 90 days.

    Hi @Kaif_Siddique 

     

    May be i did not express well but my E3 plan is not a premium license. the E3 plan gives me access to the Power Automate for Office 365 license, which is a standard license.
