How to get Tableau for class and license key
This course uses Tableau a good bit and this year you’ll need your own individual license key (we used bulk keys before but typically would run out or run into issues). You can get a full copy of the Tableau software – PC or Mac – for free!
To request a free copy of the software:
- Go to the landing page and click the “Get Tableau for Free” button.
- Fill out the form and make sure that you use your temple.edu email address.
- They should contact you within a few days with more information on how to download the software.
Tableau’s site has a series of quick start guides and video-based training. If you want to do something that we don’t cover in class, check there.
Addendum (we had issues with the above method):
- Download the latest version of Tableau Desktop here
- Click on the link above and select Get Started. On the form, enter your school email address for Business E-mail and enter the name of your school for Organization.
- Activate with your product key: TCUS-4419-4D20-6584-ED89
- Already have a copy of Tableau Desktop installed? Update your license in the application: Help menu -> Manage Product Keys
