General System Requirements
Before you proceed with installation of RPA Express, make sure your computer meets the system requirements and all the prerequisites are fulfilled. The below hardware enables you to install RPA Express and run 1 bot concurrently.
Windows Server: 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 OR Windows: 7, 8, 8.1, 10 4 cores at 2.8 GHz Minimum 8 GB of free memory (16 GB recommended) Windows Server: 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 Minimum 8 GB of free memory (16 GB recommended) Windows: 7, 8, 8.1, 10 OR Windows Server: 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 Minimum 4 GB of free memory (8 GB recommended) Please refer to Deployment Diagrams for additional details.Type OS OS Type CPU RAM Disk Space Server + Workstation 64 bit 10 GB Server 4 cores at 2.8 GHz 8 GB Workstation 2 cores at 2.8 GHz 2 GB
General tips
- RPA Express would need Administrator permissions to install all required components
- A Solid State Drive (SSD) will make things faster
RPA Express Pro System Requirements
To run multiple concurrent bots, you need *
- Windows Server: 2012, 2012 R2 or 2016
- 1 CPU and 2 GB RAM per each bot:
- E.g., if you want to run 4 bots under the Server + Workstation installation type, you need at least 7 CPU at 2.8 GHz and 14 GB RAM
- The needed CPU is a combination of your total physical and virtual cores
- You may need RDS CAL per each bot. Refer to RDS Licensing and Multiple Bots per Server for more details
* To ensure smooth performance, we recommend running no more than 16 bots per Windows Server concurrently.
Please refer to the Deployment Diagrams to get more details about possible options.

The number of cores in your CPU depends on the actual number of applications used by each bot. Thus, in case of low load, 16 bots can run on 4 cores (CPU).
