Sl. No.

Possible Reason

Solution

1

Reactivated the same license in multiple folders within the same computer or in different computers.

Single User

You cannot use a single user license concurrently in different computers. If you want to use the license in another computer, configure the license by closing all instances of Tally in the computer on which the license is active.

Multi-User

If you have Multi-user license, activate the license on a Server and configure all the clients to point to the server computer.

If there are multiple releases, always activate license in a higher release and configure all other clients to it.

Checklist for Client Machine

Configure License

  1. Start TallyPrime.
  2. Press F1 (Help) > Settings > License > Manage License.
  3. From the Manage License screen, press F4 (Use License From Network) > select Configure License Manually.
  4. Enter the Compute Name/IP and Port , where the license is activated.
  5. Press Enter. A message Restart TallyPrime to apply the changes? is displayed. Click Yes to save.

Check Tally.ini settings

  1. Open the Tally.ini file in the TallyPrime folder.
  2. Set the gateway server to the following configuration:
    • Tally Gateway Server=server:port , or
    • Tally Gateway Server=IP address

  3. Press Ctrl+S to save.

Check if Gateway Server is running

  1. Press the Windows+R keys to open the Run dialog.
  2. Type services.msc and press Enter .
  3. Right-click Tally Gateway Server.
  4. Click Start .

Tally Gateway Server service will resume and license can be accessed.

Check IP and the Subnet Address settings

  1. Go to the Start menu > Run > Command Prompt .
  2. Enter ipconfig in Command Prompt .
  3. Check the IP Address , Subnet Address , and the Default Gateway .

    The IP and the subnet addresses should be identical in the server and in the client machines. For example:

(i)      Client IP        –   192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask –   255.255.248.0

Server: IP          –   192.168.2.1

Subnet Mask    –   255.255.240.0

In the above case, even though the IP Address and Subnet Mask are different, the license will be served. The reason is the Subnet Address range is the same for both Server and Client i.e., 192.168.0.0

(ii)     Client:  IP         –   192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask     –   255.255.255.0

Server: IP          –   192.168.2.1

Subnet Mask      –   255.255.255.0

In this case, the Subnet address range is different, i.e., 192.168.1.0 for Client and 192.168.2.0 for Server. Hence the License will not be shared across Client and Server.

Check network connectivity

  1. Go to the Start menu > Run > Command Prompt.
  2. Enter Ping (IP Address). For example , enter Ping 192.168.7.81. If the network is connected, you will get the response Ping 192.168.7.81 with 32 bytes of data.
  3. Click Close to exit.

Check Tally Gateway Server settings

  1. Open your browser.
  2. Enter http://Servername/IP Address:Port in the address bar of your browser. The message License Server is Running should appear, along with the serial number and the license status.

    If the message The Page cannot be displayed appears , configure the following settings:

Add the Server to the Proxy Exceptions

  1. Go to Chrome > Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Network > Change Proxy Settings to open the Internet Properties screen.
  2. Click LAN Settings to open the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings screen.
    • Check the option Use Proxy Server for your LAN.
    • Click Advanced to configure the Proxy Settings.
      • Click Advanced on the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings screen to open Proxy Settings.
      • Enter the Proxy address to use.
      • Enter the Port number.
      • Click OK.
    • Select the checkbox Bypass proxy server for local addresses.
  1. Click OK to exit.
