How License differ based on the environment

HarishM2 — Wed, 20 May 2020 13:24:00 GMT

Hi,

Basically the license were only consumed in Prod environment. So how BOT differentiate the environment while consuming license for Dev,QA, UAT and Prod environment.

For all the environment we are using the same license?

Ofcourse based on purchasing

Yes you're allowed to reuse the production license in lower environments for free. Contractually, the license limits the number of production processes you can run, but technically you can use it in a non-production environment too.

Thanks Carter.So how can it differentiate the license from different environment?

Lets say I have 3 license and running 3 unattended BOTs in Prod . And at the same time if I try to run 3 unattended BOTs in QA, Is it acceptable or it will throw error? Because I already used my max license available in Prod

The environments aren't connected. They don't monitor each other or share the pool of licenses. As John said, you can use the same license in other environments. The only time you have to be concerned about going over your limit is if you have more than one Production environment.

So, for your example, you can have 3 bots (sessions) running in Prod, 3 in QA, 3 in Dev, all simultaneously.
