Please verify your Automation anywhere extension is turned. and also let me know are you running the bot for first time in the UAT environment
Additionally, you can also try to capture any desktop application

Hi Team,

I would like to request access to an APA Practice Control Room for hands-on learning and practice. I am currently working on improving my skills in Automation Anywhere (RPA & APA) and would really appreciate the opportunity to explore the Control Room environment.

Please let me know if any additional information is required from my side.

Thank you for your support!

@soumyadeep_c There is something interfering with intra-component communication. Ensure your machine is the active one and not someone else's. Try disabling then enabling your extension. 

@Kaushal6 Sign up for one of our sessions. That is the only way to get that access. Community Edition will give you most of what Enterprise Edition gives in relation to RPA and APA. It is also off-topic for this thread.

Hi ​@Aaron.Gleason,
Thank you for the clarification. I understand that access is provided through official sessions.

Since APA features are not fully available in the Community Edition, I’m very interested in getting hands-on experience. Could you please share the registration link for the sessions where APA Practice Control Room access is provided?

I would really appreciate your guidance.

@Aaron.Gleason  Thanks for your response. I checked the Events section, but I couldn’t find any sessions specifically related to APA or ones that mention access to the Practice Control Room.

Could you please point me to the exact event or share a direct link for the relevant session? It would really help me get started.

Appreciate your support.

@soumyadeep_c Then it must be some software interfering on your computer. Check with your IT department to disable any firewall, VPN, anti-virus, MDM, or other software that could be interfering.

@Kaushal6 Watch the events section for new events, and please keep threads on-topic.
