Error "No License found for 'TableauDesktop'" on macOS

If possible, moving away from the use of product keys and activating by signing in to a server (LBLM) will resolve this error. Please speak with your Tableau Account Manager if you would like to switch over to LBLM. 

If your organization continues to use product keys, the following steps will recreate the Flexera license data storage area on your machine:

1. Close any open instances of Tableau Desktop.
2. From the Mac OS X desktop, hit Command+Shift+G
3. In the Go to Folder dialog, enter: /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
4. Rename the FLEXnet folder by adding '_backup'
5. Start Tableau Desktop and activate your product key.

If the above steps do not resolve this issue, visit the Tableau Customer Portal and verify the product key being used is the correct license showing in the Portal.  A license key can change when a new subscription term has occurred.  Please activate the new key showing in the Tableau Customer Portal.  The Tableau Desktop key will start with the letters "TC" or "TD".
