# Troubleshoot Desktop License Reporting

When Tableau Server and Tableau Desktop instances are properly configured, Tableau Desktop license usage information is available in two administrative views, [Tableau Desktop License Usage](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-us/adminview_desktop_license_usage.htm) and [Tableau Desktop License Expiration](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-us/adminview_desktop_license_expiration.htm). If you can't see these views, check the requirements below. If you can see the views but there is no data in them, you can troubleshoot by using the Troubleshooting topic in the Desktop Deployment Guide: [Troubleshooting license reporting](https://help.tableau.com/current/desktopdeploy/en-us/desktop_deploy_troubleshoot.htm#trouble). For details on how to configure Tableau Desktop, see [Configure Desktop License Reporting](https://help.tableau.com/current/desktopdeploy/en-us/desktop_deploy_reporting_admin.htm) in the Tableau Desktop Deployment Guide.

## Administrative views aren't available

The Desktop License Reporting administrative views are available only to Tableau Server administrators. If you do not see links to the Desktop License Usage and Desktop License Expiration views on the Server Status page (select Manage All Sites from the sites menu), verify the following:

- You are signed in as a Tableau Server administrator.
- You are running a version of Tableau Server 10.0 or later, and users are running Tableau Desktop version 10.0 or later. Desktop License Reporting is available beginning with version 10.0 of Tableau Server and Tableau Desktop.
- Tableau Server has Desktop License Reporting enabled. (The feature is disabled by default.) For more information, see [Enable and configure Desktop license reporting](https://help.tableau.com/current/desktopdeploy/en-us/desktop_deploy_reporting_admin.htm#enable).
