Using License from Network in Tally Prime

Introduction

Tally Prime offers a flexible licensing model that allows multiple users to access the software from different client computers using a single license installed on a server. This feature is particularly beneficial for organizations with a network setup, enabling efficient management of licenses and resources.

What is Network License?

A Network License allows Tally Prime to be installed on a central server, enabling client computers within the same network to access Tally Prime without requiring individual licenses for each user. This setup simplifies license management and reduces costs, especially for organizations with multiple users.

Benefits of Using a Network License

1. Cost-Effective:

   • Only one license is needed for multiple users, making it economical for businesses with several employees needing access to Tally Prime.

2. Centralized Management:

   • A single point of management for updates, backups, and configurations simplifies IT administration.

3. Ease of Access:

   • Users can access Tally Prime from any authorized client computer within the network, enhancing flexibility and productivity.

4. Real-Time Collaboration:

   • Multiple users can work on the same data simultaneously, allowing for improved collaboration across teams.

5. Scalability:

   • Easily add more users by simply connecting additional client computers to the network without purchasing additional licenses.

When to Use Network License on Client Computers
