This error is generic and could be related to different root cause.
The licensed services failed to load and it was due to the nodes not registering properly. (INFO- com.tableausoftware.config.ServiceRegistrationInfoFile shows no registration file found.)
The issue occurs when firewall block Licensing server traffic between windows servers.
Run tsm topology list-ports from a command line.
Note ports specifically "licenseservice:vendor_daemon". In the firewall create a rule to allow the following tcp connection (on each node): 27000.
Hard code the Licensing Server port using TSM topology set-ports for the node where the "License Service" is installed.
tsm stop
tsm topology set-ports --node-name node1 --port-name licenseservice:vendor_daemon --port-value 27000
Restart licensing services
tsm restart
cat /var/opt/tableau/tableau_server/data/tabsvc/config/licenseservice_0.<version>/tableau.lic
sudo netstat -ltnp | grep -w ":27000"
