Changes to Power Automate Licensing
Microsoft has discontinued the Hosted RPA add-on license, introducing the new ‘Hosted Process’ license in its place. This new license holds the same value as a ‘Process license’ but also includes a virtual machine for running unattended automation. Therefore, it’s no longer an ‘add-on’ but a full standalone license.
