Configuring Tally9 On Network

Configuring Tally9 on network so that the same data on the server is used to edit and work on from different users. This helps to complete the work much faster.

Tally Server

Tally server holds the data and licence file. Any desktop in the network can be a tally server. Make sure that the tally is installed as tallygold multiuser.

Also make sure that you have checked the checkbox which says  "Run Tally Licence Server at Windows startup ( for tally gold users)" while installing Tally 9.

Network

Make sure that all the computers in the network are in same IP range. The workgroup on all computer should be the same.

On tally server go to the folder where tally is installed e.g. c:/tally9  and share the folder named "Data". Make sure that you checked the ckeckbox which says "Allow network users to change my files" 

At the Nodes

Here we need to modify the tally.ini file. Open tally.ini the configuration and setting file in notepad. Find the lines TallyLicenceServer, remove any semi colons before this line and edit as

TallyLicenceServer = 192.168.10.100:9000

or

TallyLicenceServer = TallyServer:9000

Here the IP address should be the IP of the tally server and 9000 is the port at which tally licence is running.

Now find the line that says "Data=c:/tally9/data"

Now replace the value of Data= "   "to the new location on the network for e.g. "Data=\\server\data" here server is the computer name on which tally licence server is running and the folder data is the data folder shared on the server machine.

Now you have successfully shared your tally over network. All your data created or edited by different users over the network gets saved in your server machine and this data can be accessed from any of you network machines.
