Providing a license file "camunda-license.txt" on the classpath of the bridge is not recognized as a valid license on startup.
The license file can be provided on the classpath as "camunda-license.txt" by

• calling java -Dloader.path=<folder-name> -jar camunda-bpm-rpa-bridge.jar where <folder-name> contains the license file named "camunda-license.txt"
• adding the license file named "camunda-license.txt" to the bridge JAR (e.g. copying it into the JAR at BOOT-INF/classes/
