Maestro licensing depends on your organization's pricing model in Automation Cloud.

UiPath offers two pricing models:

- [Unified Pricing](https://docs.uipath.com/maestro/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/licensing-unified-pricing)
- [Flex](https://docs.uipath.com/maestro/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/licensing-flex)

## License types required for Maestro (all plans)

Regardless of pricing model, Maestro requires a combination of:

| License type | Description |
|--------------|------------|
| **Platform license** | Grants access to Maestro services and features within Automation Cloud. |
| **User license** | Determines which features a user can access. |
| **Consumption license** | Covers usage-based activities such as process execution and decision evaluation. |

The specific entitlements, limits, and consumption units depend on whether you are on Unified Pricing or Flex Plan.

:::note
Debugging a process does not consume Agent Units or Platform Units.

## Using Process Mining with Maestro

Process Mining capabilities can be used together with Maestro under both Unified Pricing and Flex plans.

Licensing depends on whether you use only Maestro-generated data or extend your analysis with external data sources.

### Maestro-generated data

- Included at no additional cost.
- You can create and edit Process Mining Apps when they use only Maestro-generated data.
- No additional AI Units are consumed.
- No minimum Process Mining license prerequisites apply.
- You must activate the Process Mining service in your tenant.

### Maestro + external data

- A free allowance of 10,000 events is included.
- After the allowance is exceeded, standard Process Mining licensing applies.
- This may include AI Unit consumption and other prerequisites.
