[tableau@sp-tableau-external-master-stable scripts]$ sudo /opt/tableau/tableau_server/packages/scripts.20253.26.0316.1545/initialize-tsm --accepteula Detected an existing Tableau Server installation version 20253.26.0316.1545 Attempting to restart services. This is only done if the Tableau Server package corresponding to the version used by the data directory was uninstalled (an unusual and undesirable situation). If you want to start with a fresh installation of Tableau Server on this system (deleting all data!), run the tableau-server-obliterate script before installing the package (see documentation). Job for fnplicenseservice_0.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl --user status fnplicenseservice_0.service" and "journalctl --user -xeu fnplicenseservice_0.service" for details.

Do you really have a previous installation attempt / existing instance ?
But as a side note, it seems that you are using a Linux user called "tableau" with sudo access for the installation. "tableau" is per default a reserved user name that the installation will try to create so that's not going to work directly.
So some context would be nice.
