Q: How do I activate my Tableau Desktop license?
Please note that Tableau licenses are quite expensive and IS&T has a limited number.
- If you find that you no longer are in need of the license please respond to your licensing email and let us know that we can reassign it
- Your license will be reassigned if it is not installed within 30 days
Answer
- Open Tableau Desktop.
- Go to Help > Manage Product Keys...
- Click Activate.
- Enter your product key and click Activate.
- In the Registration dialog, enter your name, "MIT" as your organization, and your MIT email address, and then click Register.
- After registration is successful, click Continue.
- Close the Manage Product Keys dialog.

When I did this on my Mac, it asked me to close Tableau and open it again for the license registration to take effect.
