A Multi-site account is a type of account under which multiple Tally.ERP 9, Tally.Developer 9, or Tally.Server 9 licenses activated on different locations, can be added. 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 the administrator can centrally manage all the branch office licenses.
