Kofax RPA Licensing

OVERVIEW

The Kofax RPA license model is by the far the simplest approach

in the market to right-sizing a robotic process automation (RPA)

solution, and one that will allow organizations to scale their RPA

operations easily, while achieving a significant and fast ROI.

The Kofax RPA software platform licensing centers around a RPA

Robot license, where the Kofax RPA Robot license controls how

many robots can execute on a Kofax RPA RoboServer at one

time concurrently. For example, if an organization is licensed for

five Kofax RPA Robots, then five robots can be executed

concurrently. You can think of a Kofax RPA Robot license as a

hired digital worker, and how many of those digital workers you

need is determined by the type task being automated, how long

a task takes for a robot to complete, and the amount of work the

digital worker needs to complete within a given timeframe.

There is no limit to the number of robots that can be designed

and deployed into production, and robots can be as simple or

complex as they need to be. For example, a robot can consist of a

few or many steps that execute a set of business workflow

actions, such as inputting and outputting data, transforming

data, writing data to an Excel worksheet or calling a RESTful

Service API.

Kofax RPA licensing is available as a perpetual or annual term

license. Kofax RPA licensing is independent of the target

hardware environment and physical CPUs, and a robot license is

not tied to a physical desktop or virtual machine like some RPA

vendor licenses, allowing you the flexibility to choose cloud-

based or on-premise, virtualized or physical CPU environments.

ADVANTAGES OF THE KOFAX RPA MODEL

The Kofax RPA concurrent license model has many benefits,

including allowing organizations to design and deploy as many

robots as they would like. The Kofax RPA Robot licensing simply

controls how many robots can execute concurrently but does

not restrict robots from running once a license is available. In

fact, Kofax RPA has many administrative controls that give

administrators the flexibility of scheduling when robots run,

assigning robots to run on specific servers where a license(s) is

designated for those high priority robots.

While not necessarily tied to the RPA licensing, extra

infrastructure costs should be a consideration when evaluating

the entire cost of the project. For many RPA vendor’s products,

their architecture requires robots to access a desktop, virtual or

physical, when executing all types of robots. The Kofax RPA

architecture minimizes its virtual desktop infrastructure footprint

by providing a centralized server model that allows web and

mainframe robots to execute without ever connecting to a

desktop. In the case of enterprise applications like SAP, Kofax

RPA robots execute on the server and communicate

bi-directionally with the application on a virtual desktop via an

automation service that resides on the desktop.
