License management in server

Hi Tableau,

 

For some reason we reducing the tableau server licenses from 10 to 5 in our organization.

So how do I know even if we remove 5 licenses which bucket of licenses they belong in?

Will some users  just stop working?

 

Best Regards,

Nitish

    hI Sudhir,

     

    You need help of your admin(if you are not)

     

    1. Open a command prompt as administrator on the initial node (the node where TSM is installed).
    2. Run the following command: 
      tsm licenses list

    The output reflects whether Tableau Server uses a user-based license, a core-based license, or a combination of the two. The output of this command is formatted as follows:

     

    KEYTYPECREATOREXPLORERVIEWERGUEST ACCESSLIC EXPMAINT EXPVALID<
    KEY
    >
    Term | # Cores
    Seat #
    Seat #
    Seat #
    true | false
    mm/dd/yy
    mm/dd/yy
    true | false

    For example, a server with a core-based license and a second product key that grants user-based licenses might provide command output similar to the following:

     

    KEYTYPECREATOREXPLORERVIEWERGUEST ACCESSLIC EXPMAINT EXPVALID<
    KEY
    >
    Term
    5
    5
    100
    false
    mm/dd/yy
    N/A
    true
    <
    KEY
    >
    32 Cores
    0
    Unlimited
    Unlimited
    true
    N/A
    mm/dd/yy
    true

     

    Note: The license terms for Creator, Explorer and Viewer users are set according to the terms of the user-based license (term license), if present. So, a server with only a core-based  license will have unlimited Explorer and Viewer users and guest access, but no Creator users. Adding a user-based license overrides these settings by providing a specific number of Creator, Explorer and Viewer users, and disabling guest access. To learn more, see Use user-based licenses on a server with core-based licensing.
