Let’s Get Quickly Started with Your New License

TallyPrime supports two types of licenses: Silver and Gold. These are perpetual licenses. However, you can also purchase a rental Silver or Gold license, applicable for a specific period.

If you are a single user, you can use the Silver license and activate it on your computer. If you are a large organisation and need multiple TallyPrime users in the same LAN network, opt for the Gold license. In this case, you will be able to activate the license in one server computer and connect all your client computers to the active license in the network.

Extend Your License | Flexibilities Just for You

Multi-Site Licenses

When you purchase a single Silver or Gold license, you will have a single account. However, if your business needs to manage separate sets of users under different licenses, you will need to purchase additional licenses. In such cases, you can use multi-site licensing to manage each license with a unique site under a common account. Read More...

Single Site License

If you have a single license of TallyPrime, TallyPrime Developer, or TallyPrime Server, then it is referred to as a single site license.

Tally creates an account using the e-mail ID provided during license activation. You can use this account for all future communication and licensing activities, such as configuring, reactivating, surrendering, and updating the license. The license is valid for a lifetime. However, to receive the latest product updates, you have to renew TSS once a year.

Multi-Site License

Once you purchase TallyPrime, you need to activate your license to enjoy the full benefits of this new and improved product. If you have more than one licenses installed and activated under your Tally.NET account, then it will be referred to as multi-site licensing.

In multi-site licensing, multiple licenses of TallyPrime, TallyPrime Developer, or TallyPrime Server linked to a single account ID are activated on different computers or locations. For the sake of convenience, you can provide a unique identification for each site, which will be termed as a Site ID. You can identify a multi-site account using a unique Account ID.

Let us assume that your business has branch offices in many locations, and single and multi-user licenses are activated across these locations. Then you can create a multi-site account and manage all the licenses from one place. You can add multiple licenses of TallyPrime, TallyPrime Developer, or TallyPrime Server, which are activated in different locations.

The following is a sample representation of how you can use TallyPrime licenses in single and multi-site scenarios.

Single Site		Multi-Site
License 1 (Silver or Gold)		License 1 (Silver/Gold)	License 2 (Silver/Gold)	License 3 (Silver/Gold)
Single Account > License Admin		Account 1 > License Admin 1	Account 2 > License Admin 2	Account 3 > License Admin 3
User 1: Silver – 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM Gold – Can use anytime	User 2: Silver – 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM Gold – Can use anytime	Each License account is managed by an account or site administrator. Each License account works like a single independent site enabling multiple users (similar to the case of a single site) to use TallyPrime license, as per the business needs.

Tally Virtual User (TVU)

To serve the growing needs to access TallyPrime from anywhere, anytime, our licensing policy is tailored to support the virtual usage of TallyPrime. The Tally Virtual User (TVU) feature provides you access to your license when TallyPrime is running on a virtual environment using tools like Windows RDP, Windows Thin Client, or Citrix.

TallyPrime on AWS

TallyPrime powered by AWS helps you securely access TallyPrime and your business data anytime, anywhere. It is enabled by a virtual machine dedicated to your business via our strong network of partners. Thereby, you get greater flexibility to collaborate with multiple users working on the same data at the same time.

Points to Remember for a Seamless Licensing Experience

Run TallyPrime in Administrator mode to avoid additional confirmation messages while activating the license.
Ensure Tally Gateway Server is in Running status. During reactivation, the license is automatically surrendered from the other system, in case you have not surrendered yet.
Ensure you have your Tally.NET ID (e-mail and password) handy for all licensing activities. Ensure access to the e-mail account to view all licensing communication. Access to the account is also important for resetting Tally.NET password.
You must have full access to the TallyPrime installation folder for activation, reactivation, and other licensing activities.
Keep the server computer (where the license is activated) on all the time. This will ensure access to the license in other computers configured to the same license. You must connect the server to the internet at least once in 30 days.
Ensure to add the required IP Addresses/URL, EXE, and Ports to the Firewalls Exceptions list for TallyPrime for a seamless licensing experience.
If you have purchased multiple licenses, say TallyPrime, TallyPrime Developer and TallyPrime Server, you can have unique sites for each of these under a common license account.
