How do I replace a license in an existing Tableau workbook?

You do not need to rebuild your Tableau dashboard to apply a new license. If you're using a new .trex file (e.g., for ShowMeMore or any other extension), you can simply update the extension reference in your existing .twb file.


Use the Apps for Tableau Toolbox to easily replace the extension in your workbook:

👉 Go to the Toolbox

This tool allows you to:

  • Replace the old .trex reference with the new one

  • Apply updated license keys

  • Avoid reconfiguring your dashboard from scratch
