Licenses
Licenses is where robot capacity comes from. A new workspace has none, so the page starts empty — which is what you see below. Running a flow from the Designer needs a Development robot; publishing and scheduling one needs a Production robot.
License Summary
The panel across the top totals the robots your valid, non-expired licences add up to:
| Counter | What it licenses |
|---|---|
| Total Active Licenses | How many licence files are currently in force |
| Development Robots | Robots you run interactively from the Designer |
| Production Robots | Robots that run published flows, schedules and triggers |
| Application Robots | Robots that serve an application rather than a person |
Licences add up. Two files granting two production robots each give you four.
Licence files are the manual route — a quote and an invoice, issued by sales. Subscriptions are the self-service route, paid by card, managed in Subscriptions. You want one or the other, not both.
Requesting a licence
Request License opens a short form. You can also just mail sales@robomotion.io — the form does the same thing with less back-and-forth.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Development Robots | How many you need |
| Production Robots | How many you need |
| License Duration | 1, 3, 6 or 12 months |
| Comments | Anything the sales team should know |
Sales replies to the email address on your account.
The form asks for development and production robots only. Application and on-demand robots are part of the licence format but are quoted directly — ask in Comments if you need them.
Adding the licence file
Once you have the file, Add License uploads it. The dialog takes a .key or .license file,
and the counters update as soon as it is accepted.
An invalid or tampered file is rejected — licences are signed, and the workspace verifies the signature before honouring the counts. If the upload is refused, the file is wrong rather than the workspace being broken; go back to sales.
When a licence expires
The counts it contributed drop off, and robots above the new limit stop being able to connect. The filter at the top of the page switches between Active and Expired, so you can see what lapsed and when.
