UiPath licensing strategy provides customers a coherent and comprehensive end-to-end automation platform. To provide customers even more flexibility and support customers’ automation journey, we recently introduced a new universal pricing model that allows for workload migration between on-premises and cloud with a single pricing without the complexity of different licensing models. Learn more.
This licensing policy regulates the license granted and specific restrictions applicable to the current UiPath Platform version, and is read together with the licensing agreement between UiPath and the Customer on UiPath’s Trust Portal. Except as otherwise provided under the below plans, the SKUs are available on a term-based subscription. Other metrics (user type, consumption, etc.) may apply, as prescribed below.
Legacy versions of this policy for previous releases have been Archived.

License Definitions
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this policy will have the meaning assigned to them in the licensing agreement.
AI Units Metric that is used by AI Center/ML solutions, Document Understanding, Task Mining, and Communications Mining. These AI Units are applicable for both cloud and on-premises-based deployments, (compute resources used will consume additional AI Units), except for Communications Mining, which is only available in Automation Cloud All AI unit entitlements expire at the end of the respective license term and they are proratable.

Guidelines and Restrictions
- Multiuser and Named User licenses for the same product cannot co-exist on the same Orchestrator key.
- Studio may be activated using a Robot license only for limited purpose (and not for the purpose of developing workflows), as follows:
- Activation through the Attended Robot or Testing Robot is limited to debugging (no editing allowed)
- Activation through Unattended Robot or NonProduction Robot is limited to troubleshooting (editing allowed)
- Studio and Attended Robots used without Orchestrator are activated with standalone licenses.
- Attended Robots cannot be used as Unattended Robots.
- NonProduction designated products cannot be used in production. Automation workflows must not be executed in production using NonProduction licenses.
- Disaster Recovery may be enabled only for certain products, as allowed by UiPath, and is subject to the same rules and restrictions as the production license of such product. The production license and the Disaster Recovery setup cannot be enabled at the same time
- For Products Orchestrated through Flex Plan or Cloud Plan, customer must choose one deployment environment for the Product. Customers are not allowed to use the same Product license on Automation Cloud, Automation Suite, and Individual Products ( Windows installer) at the same time. UiPath allows customer to change the deployment environment (ie. Automation Cloud, Automation Suite, Individual Products) during the license term. UiPath grants a 3 (three) months term for completing the migration from one deployment environment to the other. In deviation to the above, during the migration period, customer can deploy the same Product license in both environments. This deviation is limited to once per license term.
- Automation Cloud - The Cloud Native UiPath Platform delivered as SaaS from UiPath - hosted in Azure, Managed by UiPath
- Automation Suite - UiPath Platform delivered as a single, containerized suite on environment of choice - on-premises or cloud subscription to any of the major providers.
- Individual Products - UiPath Platform products individually installed and managed on-premises. Products are installed on supported windows operating systems and physical/virtual hardware on-premises.
Flex plan also includes access to 100 Automation Express licenses for users to get started quickly with automating individual tasks. Automation Express runs on Automation Cloud, giving users access to StudioX, Integration Service and Serverless Automation Cloud Robot units.
