# Differences Between Attended and Attended Floating Licenses

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="173"></th><th width="195"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>License Management Actions</strong></td><td><strong>Attended License</strong></td><td><strong>Attended Floating License</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Registration</td><td><p>The license operates without the Orchestrator. It is registered to a specific machine and User account.</p><p>The activation of this License is local or through the Orchestrator (but the activation itself is stored locally). A distribution package is required for local activation.</p><p>Distribution packages for Windows:</p><p><a href="https://docs.sherparpa.ru/ssylki-na-distributivy/distributivy-sherpa-rpa-windows">https://docs.sherparpa.ru/ssylki-na-distributivy/distributivy-sherpa-rpa-windows</a></p><p>Distribution packages for Linux:</p><p><a href="https://docs.sherparpa.ru/ssylki-na-distributivy/distributivy-sherpa-rpa-linux">https://docs.sherparpa.ru/ssylki-na-distributivy/distributivy-sherpa-rpa-linux</a></p></td><td><p>The license works in conjunction with the Orchestrator. To do this:</p><ul><li>Establish a connection between the machines where operations will take place.</li><li>Add a new License, assigning it a key name.</li><li>Activate the License by selecting the desired environment (open or closed). If you have an open environment, the Orchestrator will automatically make activation requests. In the case of a closed environment, manual activation will be required.</li></ul><p>After adding the key, check the License expiration time. It should change after activation.</p><p>The License can be transferred from one machine to another through the Orchestrator.</p></td></tr><tr><td>License Binding</td><td>A named license, bound to the account of a specific User in Windows (or Linux).</td><td><p>Bound to the Robot via GUID using the Orchestrator.</p><p>To create a Robot, click the New button above the Robots table to open the Robots popup. Then select the Attended option, assign a name to the Robot, and specify the License.</p><p>After saving the data, the GUID of the Robot will appear in the popup, which must be entered in the Settings of Sherpa Assistant (item <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcAxGQlkfCm3G0sbCbybHEE2OsUqudV9eaUudDaAp-_6SjsJtyWZxS412o46F-fV8m26tc7lUhXXGp3oMGQ_PSGI-4raQ4J1mPaFt0u3SfDK62Feurm1OFdMP3kGjqEePfZhWsfEw?key=pg9H1m2mBkSPnkQcnBWJgVSv" alt="">) and click the “Connect” button.</p></td></tr><tr><td>Transferring License to Another User</td><td>Transferring Licenses between machines/between Users is only possible through a reset of activation, i.e., through a request to technical support.</td><td><p>If you need to transfer the License to another User, perform the unbinding from the Orchestrator. To do this, in the Orchestrator interface, remove the active Floating License and assign it to the new Robot.</p><p>Note: Both Robots must be added to the Robots tab.</p></td></tr><tr><td>Running Scenarios Using Licenses</td><td>If a local License is present, the Robot will use it to execute Scenarios and Processes.</td><td>When running a Scenario on the Robot, if the local License is absent, it will refer to the Orchestrator. The Orchestrator will check for the presence of a Floating License and pass it to the Robot for executing Processes.</td></tr></tbody></table>
