Blue Prism License

[vamsi.madathula]

Hi all,

What is the significance of 2 under the session tab in the blue prism license? does that mean that a single license can be used to run two concurrent sessions? 

for example:
1. If we have 10 runtime resources and 10 licenses are bought does that mean 10 concurrent sessions can be run?
    if yes 
2. if we have 10 run time resources and 9 licenses bought which 8 licenses have 1 as a value under the           
    session tab and the remaining 1  license having 2 as the value in the session tab. Is this case the same as the
     point one I have mentioned?

3. Are licenses used by run-time resources dynamically when the session are started?

please clarify these doubts.

thanks & Regards,
Vamsi M

Hi @vamsi madabathula,

The significance of 2 under session tab means 2 concurrent sessions that particular license key supports. So in this way you can have below combinations:

1. If 1 License key  = 2 concurrent sessions​ --> 10 License Keys = 20 Concurrent sessions (condition : All 10 License keys needs to be activated) irrespective of the number of run time resources.

2. Total 9 License Keys --> Where 8 Keys if activated will support 8 concurrent sessions and last one if activated will support 2 concurrent sessions. So Overall 10 concurrent sessions will work irrespective of the number of Runtime Resources.

Hello @vamsi madabathula and thank you for responding @esaugos

A session is the term Blue Prism uses to give a name to each time a process is ran on a digital worker.  Therefore, concurrent sessions translates to the number of processes that can be run (or ready to be run) at the same time, so a count of all pending and running sessions.

Note: You may have multiple license keys, this is fine and intended, added together they build up to the total entitlement.

Example to make a point:

With a 10 Sessions and 100 Resources license you can:

• You can have 10 processes running
• Deploy 100 Digital Workers (resources)

Tip: The detail behind what each of the license metrics means is available within the Online Help: Managing licenses, available by pressing F1 key whilst on screens within the application.
