Upgrade to TallyPrime & TallyPrime Edit Log
If you are using an earlier version of Tally, then upgrade to TallyPrime or TallyPrime Edit Log, as applicable. Thereafter, you can continue your business as usual.
The process of upgrading to TallyPrime and TallyPrime Edit Log is the same. However, you can easily differentiate between them—from the setup file and application appearance to the screen when you launch the application.
