Tableau Creator for Cloud Activation
How to activate Tableau licenses after purchase.
Tableau will send an email to the identified Portal Admin within 24 hours of license purchase. This email includes the customer’s Tableau Cloud site activation link. (Please check Spam folder for email.)
Your license provides you access to a Tableau server site under your customer name. The Tableau server is different and in addition to your existing DataSelf server site. Once you have successfully accessed your new Tableau server site using your Creator, you will be ready to point your Creator to your DataSelf site.
More information for getting started with your Tableau Creator for Cloud can be found here and here.
