Your Tableau Software maintenance expires in X days.

Environment

Tableau Desktop

Resolotion

Open the application, and then navigate to Help > Manage Product Keys

• Click the Refresh button to refresh the maintenance license that is expiring. Then close and restart Tableau Desktop. 
• If the Maintenance Expires date doesn’t update, check with your license administrator.

Additional information

• The type of license is displayed in the Product field.
• A maintenance license gives you continued access to technical support and product upgrades. If you let your maintenance expire, you can continue to use the version Tableau that was released prior to the maintenance expiration but will lose access to the newer version.
