Besides a name, a description, a version, and a host, bots have the following properties:

UNKNOWN: The status of the bot cannot be determined. RESTARTPENDING: The bot is restarting. OUT OF SERVICE TIME: The bot is outside of its assigned service times.

Production	Cross symbol: The bot should not be used in the production phase. Check mark symbol: The bot can be used in the production phase.
Timezone	The timezone that the bot’s installation computer uses. The bot interprets all times for which no time zone is assigned to be set in its own time zone.
Licensed sessions	Shield with a check mark symbol and a number: Maximum number of Secure Sessions the bot may use at the same time. This number depends on the hardware the bot is installed on. Shield symbol: The bot has been configured for a Desktop Session. It cannot use Secure Sessions.
Deployed sessions	Number of sessions that have been deployed to the bot for executing processes. The number of deployed sessions can exceed the number of licensed sessions. This may cause individual process executions to be skipped.
