The method of activation is similar to that of a single user. The license is first installed and activated on the computer designated as the License Server and later on other computers on the network designated as License Clients.
Setting Tally License Server
During the installation of Tally, select the Run Tally License Server at Windows Startup (For TallyGold Users) check box. This will enable the user to have Tally start when Windows starts and run as a service in the background on the server computer.
If you fail to select the Run Tally License Server at Windows Startup (For TallyGold Users) check box, you can use this alternative method to activate Tally:
| 1. | Double-click TallyLicServer.exe found in Tally directory. A dialog box appears which comprises the following elements: |
| · | Install |
To install the multi-user license on the server, press Install button
| • | Uninstall |
To uninstall the multi-user license previously installed, if any, press Uninstall button.
| 2. | Click on Install button |
| 3. | After installation of Tally on the client computer, open Tally.ini file found in Tally directory and set the following parameters: |
TallyLicenseServer = Name of the License Server Computer or IP Address of the Server.
Important: If you desire to make any changes to your Hardware, such as Hard Disk or Removable Storage Devices, it is recommended that you surrender the License from your computer, before initiating these changes. Else, Tally will switch to Educational mode.
