License confusion with Unattended RPA Plan

[bradleyNixon]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to run a flow I created in Power Automate Desktop inside of Power Automate (Run a flow built by Power Automate Desktop (preview)).  I can't run the flow and see the error:  "Your flow was saved, but could not be enabled because of billing restrictions."  There's a hyperlink "Learn more" which goes to the pricing page to buy a subscription.

When I click my profile pic > View Account > View Subscriptions I see what I think are the two relevant ones (screen capture below).  I pay $40 for the first and $40 for the second.

What else would I need to purchase in order to build this type of flow?  I'm the admin for my account and I see that my credit card was successfully charged.  Or perhaps, is there something hidden in the setup which is overlooked?  I've been poking around for a few hours and just can't figure this out.

Thank you!

Bradley

Thank you for your help.  I did some more exploring.  Would having an Windows 10 Pro (or Home) with local admin account with no password set/no expiration do the trick?  I have an Windows 10 Pro with that setting and it does not log off and I can leave the pc on.  I'm not sure if that means it's keeping the same user session open indefinitely but seems so.  Then the problem is that I have to enter a password which I don't have for this particular local admin account.

You've moved out of my area of expertise here

Do you have an unattended license?

If so there's a good chance that setting a password for local admin would cause your flow to automatically unlock the machine?

If not then you might need to set a password for the local admin so the  above will work, and use the hta I provided in tandem.

Thanks,

I cannot afford to purchase the unattended license so I've been trying to find a way to make it work with attended, hence how can I keep the user session going.

If I run the mouse jiggler script, how can I stop it or uninstall it?  Restart PC?  There are other mouse jiggler scripts.  Do they all do the same thing?  Move mouse every so often indefinitely?  Thank you for your help!!!!

The one I posted above you just simply close it. Rebooting the computer of course also would work.

Would not hurt to add this to the startup folder or a run entry in the registry (mshta.exe %pathtofile%)

Mine actually presses Scroll Lock twice ~ I found this is less intrusive than moving the mouse and accomplished the same effect. Most do move the mouse instead.

If I bought one unattended bot then how many flows can run at the same time.
