Tableau offers role-based term licenses that grant a range of capabilities at various price points. In the output returned by tsm licenses list, the TYPE field describes the user license metric. For more information about licensed processes, see Licensed processes. If a computer has one or more licensed processes installed on it, the cores on that computer count toward the total cores used. A subset of processes is considered 'licensed processes.' Core licensing is calculated only on computers running licensed processes. Not all processes installed with Tableau Server impact the calculation of total number of cores used. You can install Tableau Server on a single computer or across multiple computers as a multi-node cluster, as long as the total number of cores in all the computers does not exceed the total number that the license allows. Instead, the license specifies the maximum number of computer cores on which you can run Tableau Server. Administrators can add users based on available licenses of each type.Ī core-based license metric imposes no constraints on the number of user accounts in Tableau Server. Each user that accesses Tableau Server must be licensed and assigned a role. Tableau’s term license model is defined by the metric that permits use of Tableau Server.Ī role-based license metric allows you to deploy Tableau Server on a single computer or on multiple computers in a cluster. Tableau Server product keys can be role-based, core-based, or feature-based. Tableau Server product key, can be used to activate or deactivate Tableau Server. Tableau Desktop product key, can be used to activate or deactivate Tableau Desktop only. Tableau Creator product key, can be used to activate or deactivate Tableau Desktop and Tableau Prep Builder. When viewing product keys using tsm licenses list ( Tableau Server), or in the Tableau Customer Portal ( Tableau Desktop and Tableau Prep Builder), note the product specific prefixes. The Tableau Customer Portal (Link opens in a new window) will also display product key information including type and seat count. This topic describes the different licensing models and the product keys associated with them.Ī useful visual of how product keys are represented in Tableau Server can be found in tsm licenses list.
