Introduction
Before deploying Tableau Server on Microsoft Azure, you must have the following:
-
A Microsoft Azure subscription. If you don't already have a subscription, you can sign up for a free trial on the Microsoft Azure Free Trial website.
-
A Tableau Server license.
-
For a standalone Tableau Server deployment, you must contact sales for a product key.
-
For a cluster-based deployment, you need a user-based license (which covers all authorized users of Tableau Server), a core-based license (with a minimum of 16 cores), or a Tableau Server subscription license. To obtain a product key, contact sales.
For more information about Tableau Server licensing options, see Licensing Overview.

Microsoft Remote Desktop installed on your computer. You use Remote Desktop to sign in to the VM that is hosting Tableau Server. Remote Desktop is pre-installed on Windows-based operating systems. If you use a Mac, you can install Remote Desktop as a client from the Microsoft Download Center. If you're connecting from a computer running Linux, you can use rdesktop to connect to your Azure VM running Microsoft Windows. For more information, see How to connect and log on to an Azure virtual machine running Windows at the Microsoft Azure website.

Tableau Server installer. You can download the installer from the Tableau Server Trial Download page.
