Activate
Multi-Site License
A Multi-Site license is
more than one installation of Tally.ERP 9 Silver or Gold activated
on different machines or locations using the same serial number. The location
or the machine where Tally.ERP 9 is activated is called Site and
each site is given an unique identification by the user which is termed
as Site ID. Various sites belonging to an entity are grouped
together to form a Multi-Site Account. The account is
identified using an unique Account ID which is created using
your valid E-Mail address. The associated Tally Partner has to create the
Account ID before activating the multi-site licenses.
After installing Tally.ERP
9 Silver or Gold edition on your computer you can now
activate a Multi-Site. Prior to activating the site license it is
essential to login as a user with Administrative Rights or as
an Administrator. In the activation form you need to provide the
License Serial Number and Activation Key, Site
