This is a completely newbie question.
If I have a licensed Blue Prism, I created an autumation using it, can I deploy it to a computer without a Blue Prism software?
Blue Prism is quite expensive and our company cannot afford individual licenses yet.
is there like a compiled exe solution?
Thank you.
No. Blue Prism processes cannot be compiled to executable binaries and rely heavily on licensed Blue Prism infrastructure to be executed.
Blue Prism does sometimes offer "development" licenses for non-production use, especially for their clients smaller in size. It may be worth opening a dialog with them to see what terms they might be able to offer for you.
Depends on the situation. You usually get Blue Prism developer licenses which a major restriction. Usually when you by the BP license, it is for production usage, meaning when you run your automation via the control room. You should be able to develop and the license would be used to run the automation unsupervised on a runtime machine.
The blue prism license models works based on how many active sessión could be working at the same time. In the image below we could see that this license enable us having 10 robots running different process at the same time, despite of the fact that you could also have this same license install in more runtimes, interactive clients or app servers.
Also you could use this same license for your production environment as well as for your quality environment.

New process builder concept or terminal emulator. Which one is to be used her
I believe Ayushi means LeanFT. LeanFT is a functional testing tool that used to be part of HP Enterprise's test tools product set that was sold to Micro Focus in 2017. Micro Focus renamed the product "UFT Developer."
"How to launch a mainframe application" is ambiguous, though. Mainframes are sophisticated, robust, high throughput servers that run a variety of operating systems and practically any/every application you can imagine. I'll attempt an answer, though.
If the application runs on z/OS, z/VSE, z/TPF, or z/VM CMS, if the application only (or predominantly) offers a "3270" terminal-oriented user interface, and if test user access authentication and authorization is permitted, then the application can be launched from Micro Focus UFT Developer via its terminal emulator functionality. Unfortunately this feature only works on UFT Developer for Windows. Documentation is available here:
https://admhelp.microfocus.com/uftdev/en/15.0/HelpCenter/Content/HowTo/TE_Addin_Overview.htm
This feature also evidently works with the previous version (LeanFT Version 14 for Windows). Please note that a 3270 terminal emulator for Windows will also be required since this UFT Developer feature uses "HLLAPI," an API that IBM introduced many years ago that many 3270 terminal emulators provide. The documentation describes several choices, such as IBM Personal Communications (i.e. the IBM Host Access Client Package). I strongly recommend configuring and using a TLS encrypted TN3270E connection as a basic security precaution.
That's certainly not the only way to "launch a mainframe application" and may not even be applicable, as mentioned above. As another example, z/OS includes the z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF). z/OSMF provides an authorized jobs interface, a set of REST APIs that can accept job submissions (i.e. launch applications). As yet another example, mainframes run Linux (extremely well), so any/all application launching techniques that work with Linux work with Linux, including on mainframes.
Other than delivering the windows 10 app in the Windows Store, is there any other way to deliver it?
The objective is that, when I turn on the laptop/device (out of the box experience), I want the Windows 10 app already factory installed, so the user does not have to "download" the app from the Windows Store.
Is there some "backdoor" that I can preload the windows 10 app while burning the windows 10 image to the laptop/device?
Thanks!
If you're creating the image that is applied to the machines at the factory you can include it when creating the image.
There are various types of apps and many types of licensing though.
Typically people ask for this type of thing as part of an enterprise deployment scenario. If that's what you're after then a provisioning solution once removed "from the box" is probably more appropriate. There are MDM and linked ActiveDirectory solutions for provisioning apps and device configuration. I suggest you start by looking for such.
Update
If not an enterprise scenario, how would you already have the apps on the machine when you take it out of the box? I think what you're really after is a way to set up the machine when you take it out of the box. For that I'd recommend chocolately as an easy way of getting a machine set up how you want it.
In terms of the types of apps you are installing there are different considerations for services, win32 apps and windows store apps. What you are installing and how you create an image can have different consequences.
There are many scenarios regarding licensing but consider an app that is licensed on a per machine basis. If you created an image for machines as they come from the factory (typically enterprises do this when buying a lot and want an easy way to have them preconfigured) then you can't put the same single use license on all machines.
How can i test my local RIA?
I need to do a stress test, graph response time and memory usage when user increases.
Do you know any software?
RIA tool support is often dictated by the development platform. For instance if you have GWT and need Javascript support in the tool then you will be pushed to one subset of tools, Silverlight to another, etc...
Looks to your development team, System Requirements Document and Architecture documentation for information on the developmnent toolkits used by your rick internet application. Once you have good insight there, into both which toolkit and what version then take a look at the commercial and open source tools out there to see which ones support your interface. There are few things more frustrating than driving a nail with the butt end of a screwdriver, but if your tool and your interface are a poor match you could wind up doing just that.
All of the commercial vendors are offering short term licenses at this point that you should be able to tie directly back to the project budget. Something to keep in mind on the open source front is that the level of effort on the labor front tends to be higher overall because of the efficiencies built into the commercial tools on the development, monitoring integration and analysis fronts.
If you want an open source solution, I can think on Apache JMeter. There are others like Rational Performance Tester or Mercury LoadRunner but those are not free. You might want to verify if there's a trial version out there.
I have a number of Windows servers at work that are used for staging web sites for clients while they are being created.
I wanted to start using versioning on them so that when we work with outside vendors on a project, if/when they overwrite my work, I'd like to be able to go back and get the version before.
My question is that I think I'm not looking for the correct terms in searching for information, but what kind of resources are there to learn how to install the software for versioning or a site to help me get started.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Since your development workflow can be decentralized (as in "there isn't always one central repository), DVCS tools, with their common tasks described here) can be more adapted.
Git-Scm
Mercurial (see HgInit.com for a very good tutorial like the kind you are after)
Plastic SCM (which has a DVCS nature)
can I offer on my website my program (beta version) for free to test it and searching for bugs when the program contains control components running in trial mode?
I only want to buy the licence when I do the release of the final program.
You need to check the licence agreements for the components. I would suggest contacting the companies/people who supply these as their terms and conditions will vary. In general I suspect the answer is no but you may be lucky.
