Hi Guys,

I got a bit confused on the two type of license. Currently I have a Tableau desktop license, my company would like to set up tableau server. One Tableau program manager told me I need to purchase a creator license or convert my current license at end of 1 year. Their product manager however said the two are the same, each desktop version is a creator.

Can someone please advise:

-Is there any functional difference between desktop and creator?

-Does desktop + explorer/viewer combination work? Meaning just purchase additional explorer license for end users.

Thanks.
