# About Tableau Enterprise

Tableau Enterprise is our advanced software package to help you explore and manage data faster with Tableau Server. It also makes it easier to purchase the capabilities needed by organizations that require advanced data and deployment management options.

## Tableau Enterprise Licensing

As of March 2026, Tableau Enterprise is sold in the following models:

- **Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud Role-Based Edition**
    
    The role-based edition is sold on a per-User role-based licensing model, including Creators, Explorers, and Viewers. This model is structured around the specific roles within an organization, each requiring different levels of functionality. With Tableau Enterprise, each role-based license includes Data Management, Advanced Management, and eLearning for Creators and Explorers. Available for Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud.
- **Tableau Server Core Edition**
    
    The core edition is capacity-based and sold in 8-core increments, and bundles Advanced Management and Data Management into the license. Available only for Tableau Server.
