  2. In the TallyPrime Gold License Configuration screen, enter the IP Address and Port of the Tally Gateway Server used by TallyPrime Gold.

    If you do not know the IP address and port, check on TallyPrime.
    • Select IP Address and Port, go to the installed TallyPrime Gold > F1 (Help) > Settings > License > Manage License.
      For example, IP Address – DTLAB-FIN01 and Port – 11111.
  3. Press Ctrl+A to save the changes.

In case you want to configure another TallyPrime Gold license, repeat the steps with the respective IP Address and Port details.

Now that your TallyPrime Gold license is successfully configured, you can set data locations and allow users to access the same.
