Cause

Tableau requested that the certificates previously used to sign our installers be revoked. This was part of an effort to begin signing our installers with certificates that accurately reflect Tableau’s new legal entity name. This change resulted in issues installing specific versions of Tableau products which were signed with the revoked certificate. The versions listed in the Resolution section above have been signed with the certificate that uses Tableau’s new legal entity name and are unaffected.
