It seems you are using old Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Client.Tenant.dll, so you can get the new dll from new Sharepoint online PowerShell module. 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=35588

After installation, you need to change assembly path in your script like 

 Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\SharePoint Online Management Shell\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll" 
 Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\SharePoint Online Management Shell\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll" 
 Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\SharePoint Online Management Shell\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Client.Tenant.dll"

Note: Above script, I added my default installation path and you can find the SharePoint module installation path using Get-Module -ListAvailable
