Can It run when the computer is locked? or it has to be unlocked for the RPA to work?

If you have any UI automation actions in your flow, or use any applications that run on the scope of the user (such as SQL connectivity or using OneDrive or some network drives) you will need to have your machine unlocked. Otherwise it could run when the machine is locked.

I've been using this for some time now on my premium free trial. Now I have to buy license, but I don't know if this is categorized as an attended flow or unattended. Microsoft doesn't say anything about it, and I can't find any information on it.

In any case, Microsoft Power Automate Premium is the license that can cover this. It is supposed to be considered as attended, because the Windows Task Scheduler is not able to make Power Automate login to the machine to run a flow. So, it would technically only work with an active user session.
