How can logging in-based license usage inform administrators?

The choice indicating that logging in-based license usage informs administrators by showing whether a license is activated is correct because it directly relates to the management of user access and license accountability in Tableau. This information is crucial for administrators to understand which licenses are currently active and being utilized, ensuring that organizations are maximizing their investment in the software.

When licenses are activated, it demonstrates that users have access to the features and tools they need for their work. Conversely, if licenses are not activated, it may indicate that certain users do not require the software or that there are unused licenses that the organization may choose to reallocate or even eliminate, leading to potential cost savings.

This process helps in license management, compliance auditing, and strategic planning regarding future needs based on users’ actual engagement with the platform. Tracking this information allows administrators to make data-driven decisions about license renewals and adjustments based on usage patterns.

The other options, while related to user interaction with Tableau, do not focus on the core aspect of activation and the direct implications for license management. Patterns in user load times or historical access data may offer insights into user behavior or system performance, and identifying inactive licenses is related but does not convey the immediate relevance of being activated or not.
