Tableau uses common ports (80 and 443) to make internet requests. The diagrams below show the communication process between the client, Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud, and the licensing service.

The ATR service, hosted on AWS, verifies and manages the license and the length of the authorization window. Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud contacts the Tableau-hosted authorization-to-run (ATR) service to verify that the Tableau Desktop client is allowed activation.

When login-based license management is in use, Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep Builder periodically contacts Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud in order to verify that the user is a Creator and to obtain an authorization to run.

You can assign Creator roles to users who use Tableau Server, Tableau Desktop, and Tableau Prep Builder for license activation and centralized license management. Login-based license management is enabled per production instance of your Tableau Server deployment. You only need one Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud site to authorize an individual Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep Builder. You only need to manage one or more product keys for on-premises Tableau Server, or in the case of Tableau Cloud, you don’t need to manage any product keys at all. Users with Explorer or Viewer roles cannot use this feature. If you’re using Role Based Subscriptions with Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud, you can simplify your license management using login-based license management to eliminate separate Tableau Desktop and Tableau Prep Builder product keys. Login-based license management helps you manage licensing for users with Creator roles on Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud.
