Hi everyone,
We are about to start a new automation development project using IBM RPA, but we’re currently facing some issues with the activation of our licenses under IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation (CP4BA).
To avoid project delays, we would like to ask if it is possible to start development using the IBM RPA Free Trial license, building the bot locally as a .wal file, and then later migrate or deploy the bot to the licensed CP4BA environment once it becomes available.
.wal
Specifically, we’d like to confirm:
Is it possible to develop bots using the free version and later import or deploy them into a licensed CP4BA environment without compatibility issues?
Are there any known limitations or considerations when moving a .wal file from the free edition to a licensed environment?
Any technical recommendations to ensure a smooth transition (e.g., handling dependencies, credentials, or scripts)?
Thank you in advance for your guidance — we want to plan our development timeline efficiently while the licensing issue is being resolved.
Best regards,
