Introduction to Licensing

Tally.ERP 9 provides two distinct license editions for the users:

●      Tally.ERP 9 Silver Edition: Silver edition is a single-user license. Only a single user at a time can access the license in a LAN environment. For another user to access the same license, all instances of Tally.ERP 9 currently using the license must be closed. 

●      Tally.ERP 9 Gold Edition: Gold edition is a multi-user license. Multiple users connected in a LAN environment can access the license simultaneously.  

Managing your Licenses

To manage licenses, Tally.ERP 9 has the concept of site licensing.

A site refers to a single license of Tally.ERP 9, Tally.Developer 9, or Tally.Server 9 that has been installed and activated.

Site licensing is classified into two categories:

●      Single Site: A single Tally.ERP 9, Tally.Developer 9, or Tally.Server 9 license is called a single site. The licensing operations at the individual site is managed by the administrator.

●      Multi Site: Multi site is more than one Tally.ERP 9, Tally.Developer 9, or Tally.Server 9 licenses activated on different machines or locations, associated to  a primary account. Each site is given a unique identification by the user, which is termed as Site ID. The multi-site account is identified using a unique Account ID.

For example, a company with branch offices in multiple locations, where single and multi-user licenses are activated, can create a multi-site account and centrally manage all the branch office licenses.

Note: It is mandatory to have internet connectivity in the system to perform any licensing operation.
