What is the primary function of the License Manager process in TSM?

The primary function of the License Manager process in Tableau Server Management (TSM) is to handle licensing. This component is responsible for ensuring that the software is properly licensed according to the terms set by Tableau. It manages the licensing model, tracks license usage, and verifies the number of active users or deployments against the allowable limits set by the licenses purchased.

By monitoring and regulating the licenses, the License Manager ensures compliance and allows organizations to effectively utilize their purchased Tableau licenses without exceeding their limits. This function is crucial for maintaining legal compliance and optimizing resource allocation within an organization.

While site migrations, maintenance operations, and managing shared files are important components of the overall TSM functions, they do not pertain specifically to the licensing process, which is focused solely on usage and compliance with Tableau's licensing agreements.
