Conversion Form:
The Conversion Form is displayed when Tally starts. Tally looks for the Soft Lock in the system. If it is not found and if TallyLicense = Connect is not present or commented out in tally.ini file, it runs lockconverter.exe, which is present in Tally Installation folder.
Enter only the Email-ID and accept the screen. The Serial Number displayed on this screen is same as the Hard Lock Serial Number.
The response goes to the TSPL server and the Hard Lock gets converted to a new Soft Lock. A Conversion Details screen is displayed showing the successful conversion with a new Serial Number and Activation Code.
Note: The Information regarding the Serial Number and the Activation Code of the newly generated Soft Lock can also be found in Conversion.txt file in the Tally Installation folder. If any error occurs during the process, it will be captured in a log file named Converter.Log, which can be found in the Tally Installation folder.
