1. In Tally.Server Monitor, click Manage Server .
The Tally.Server Information screen appears.
2. Click Monitor Setup .
3. In Tally License Server field, enter the IP address of the system or Name of Server on which the other Tally.Server 9 License has been installed.
4. Enter the Port number in the Port field.
Now, the Tally.Server Monitor will show the details of the other Tally.Server 9 license server.
To revert to details of initial server, enter the appropriate IP address and port number.
