Even after activating the server, you might notice that the background maps in Tableau visualizations don't load. This is because Tableau maps are hosted on the internet (Mapbox/OpenStreetMap via Tableau servers).

Starting with version 2023.1, Tableau supports offline activation for the ATR service. This method often uses a .json request file instead of .tlq . If your environment is extremely secure and forbids moving files, you can sometimes transcribe the JSON values directly into the Tableau Activation Website .
