What are the modes of Tableau Bridge?
Application versus Service mode
A client can operate in one of two modes: Application or Service. The mode the client can run depends on the Windows user account it's running under, the Tableau Cloud site settings that the client is registered to, and general data freshness needs.
What is the point of Tableau Bridge?
Tableau Bridge is client software that runs on a machine in your network. The client works in conjunction with Tableau Cloud to keep data sources that connect to private network data, which Tableau Cloud can't reach directly, up to date. Private network data includes on-premises data and virtual cloud data.
Does Tableau Bridge require a license?

Is Tableau Bridge free?
