I am under Ubuntu 14.04 and TDE 14.04 too.

This Ubuntu Advantage is not installed on my system so I assume it is 
not required.

However I installed TDE from the live TDE image so I did not installed 
Ubuntu separately.

I think it is safe to remove completely this Ubuntu Advantage but it is 
your choice...
