Tableau Server License Key Activation

tsm licenses activate -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

If you move Tableau Server to new hardware, always deactivate first—or risk using up an activation slot.

tsm register --first-name John --last-name Doe --email john@company.com tableau server license key activation

Note: Offline activations are tied to the machine ID. You cannot transplant a response file to a different server. tsm licenses activate -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX


Step A – Generate request:

tsm licenses offline-request -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX -r /path/to/request.offline

Step B – Apply response (after obtaining from offline portal): If you move Tableau Server to new hardware,

tsm licenses offline-response -f /path/to/response.offline_response

After installation, the TSCU opens automatically. Navigate to the Licensing tab.
