This page displays information for any licenses that have been activated on your server, including any user-based (term) or core-based licenses. 1. Open TSM in a browser: http://:8850 2. Click **Configuration** , and then click Licensing : The table displays the product key, expiration date, and expiration of maintenance. **Note**: The TSM Web UI provides a limited amount of licensing information. Use the TSM CLI or the Tableau Server Web UI to see additional licensing information, including the number of each type of user-based license (Creator, Explorer and Viewer). 1. Open a command prompt as administrator on the initial node (the node where TSM is installed). 2. Run the following command: `tsm licenses list` The command lists licenses that are activated on the Tableau Server deployment. For example, a server with five Creator licenses, five Explorer licenses, 100 Viewer licenses, and Data Management would provide command output similar to the following: ![List of four Tableau licenses and details about their expiration dates.](/tableau/current/en-us/server-linux/en-us/Img/license_list.png) The following fields are returned: - **KEY**: A globally unique 16-character string that identifies the license. - **TYPE**: Describes the type of license - Term: Term licenses map to a subscription schedule and must be renewed. The expiration date is listed under the LIC EXP field. - Perpetual: Perpetual licenses are purchased once and do not need to be renewed but must be refreshed to update the MAINT EXP or maintenance expiration date. - Cores: Core licenses are licenses that map to the number of cores on the computers running specific Tableau Server services. Core licensing allows for a guest user access to views on the server or embedded on other web servers. Core licenses also allow for unlimited Explorer and Viewer users. - **CREATOR**: The number of Creator licenses issued to the Tableau Server deployment. - **EXPLORER**: The number of Explorer licenses issued to the Tableau Server deployment. - **VIEWER**: The number of Viewer licenses issued to the Tableau Server deployment. - **DATA MANAGEMENT**:Tableau Server is licensed with Data Management (`True`/`False`). See [About Data Management](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/dm_overview.htm). - **GUEST ACCESS**: Tableau Server is licensed for a Guest User. See [Guest User](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/users_guest.htm). The ability to leverage a Guest User requires Core licensing. See TYPE field. - **LIC EXP**: The date that the license expires and Tableau Server will stop working. Term licenses expire. See TYPE field. Visit the Tableau [Customer Portal](https://customer.tableausoftware.com/) to refresh licenses. - **MAINT EXP**: Applies only to legacy perpetual licenses (TYPE = Perpetual). For Term licenses, this field will output, `N/A`. MAINT EXP displays the date that the maintenance contract for the Tableau Server deployment expires. To update the license maintenance key see [Refresh Expiration Date and Attributes for the Product Key](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/license_refresh.htm). Visit the Tableau [Customer Portal](https://customer.tableausoftware.com/) to view maintenance purchase history and to purchase additional maintenance. - **UPDATABLE**: Specifies whether the license is an updatable subscription license (`True`/`False`). - **LBLM**: Specifies if login-based license management (LBLM) is enabled for the Tableau Server deployment (`True`/`False`). When enabled, LBLM allows users to log into Tableau Server to license their instance of Tableau Desktop or Prep, rather than entering a product key. For more information about LBLM, see [Login-based License Management](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/license_lblm.htm). - **SERVER MANAGEMENT**: Tableau Server is licensed for Advanced Management (formerly Server Management Add-on) (`True`/`False`). For more information about Advanced Management, see [About Tableau Advanced Management on Tableau Server](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/itm_intro.htm). **Note**: The license terms for Creator, Explorer and Viewer users are set according to the terms of the user-based license (term license), if present. So, a server with only a core-based license will have unlimited Explorer and Viewer users and guest access, but no Creator users. To learn more, see [Use role-based licenses on a server with core-based licensing](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/licensing_migrate_from_core.htm#user-based-with-core).
