What license should I use to run an unattended bot?

Posted on by Jel1991 17

Hello,

I have an office 365 E1 license but I want to create an RPA in Power Automate that downloads a file from the SAP ERP and then integrates that file with other excel files to generate a SharePoint List.

My question is what additional license should I buy to run this bot unattended every day in a virtual machine?

Thank you very much.

    If you plan to do it using Power Automate Desktop, and run it unattended, then you need a Power Automate per user license with RPA ($40 /user/month) and the Unattended RPA add-on ($150 /bot/month).
