Which command is used to activate a Tableau license during installation?

The command used to activate a Tableau license during installation is "tsm licenses activate." This command is specifically designed to handle the activation process for Tableau Server licenses, ensuring that the software recognizes and enables all the features associated with the purchased license.

In the context of Tableau Server management, the Tableau Services Manager (TSM) is a critical command-line interface that helps administrators configure and manage their Tableau Server environment. The precision of using "tsm licenses activate" ensures that Tableau correctly processes the licensing information and adheres to the licensing terms associated with the deployment.

This activation step is crucial because it verifies that the software instance is compliant with the licensing agreement, allowing for optimal functionality and access to features based on the type of license you have acquired. By activating the license properly, administrators avoid potential issues with access and feature limitations later in the deployment process.

Other options might seem plausible at first glance, but they either refer to commands that do not exist or are related to different functions within the TSM framework. Understanding the specific command structure is essential for successful license management in Tableau Server deployment.
