Tally.ERP 9: Why to Install? How to Install ?

After the launch of Tally. ERP 9 next release is on the blocks. The release 1.1 of Tally.ERP9. For ApniTally readers who are still deciding whether to upgrade to Tally.ERP9 or not, here are few words which can help them in making decision.


Why to Install?

1. The first and fore most is its Free. Yes, for all Tally 9 original users its free. Just go to the Tally site and download the latest pack.
2. It has better performance the it’s earlier versions. Better performance means handling large database at faster speed.
3. Added new features. New features like Remote capability, Payroll, excise etc. are available without any cost.
4. Better help. Newer version has better help features. You can get info about shortcut keys available at any window. More over the online help option is just superb. Problem solving via Tally end is now easy.
5. Last but not the least, It’s new. When we can go for windows vista even after knowing it’s not hundred percent perfect, then why not Tally.

Why not to Install?

1. If you have customizations running on your Tally. First you should take care of the customizations by converting them to newer version. There is a possibility that you may get some errors in them after conversion.
2. If you don’t have the keys and email address. Arrange the keys and make email address of your own before shifting. It may be possible that you are using some one else email address. (probably the person who installed the tally may have mentioned his email address).

  1. Dear Sir,
    I think it is not a right time to intall tally.erp 9 because there is lot of problems with VAT, Excise and TDS I have sent an email to tally supprt team also on the matter.it does not show the vat reports correctly and users are not able to make tds entry on capital expenses.
    I have posted all these problems in my blog
    Thanks

  2. dear sir,

    i just read the mail regarding upgradation of tally 9 to tally 9 erp.

    i then called up the customer care reagarding the details. after the discussion with hem, i found that once i upgrade to tally 9 erp and if the software if a faulty one as mentioned by mahen then i cannot come back to tally 9 older version. what a pity( not at all expected from you towards tally license user) already tally 9 older version has lot of flaws but still i can cope up with it. but once i upgrade i will have no other option. tally people should look into the above matter and make the note of it. at last but not the least i donot undetstand how can anybody compramise with the accounting software. (pleae remove this point —(When we can go for windows vista even after knowing it’s not hundred percent perfect, then why not Tally) if anyone finds vista not suitable then he can switch bank to older ‘os’. but in your case we cannot.

    thanks.

  3. Sandeep Ji you can still test the water by downloading the erp and by testing the data on your new version.
    Be sure to take backup of current data before shifting. If every thing runs smoothly then gradually start working on ERP.
    More over you can you both licenses at the same time.
    More over if still you face problems then you can track back and rewrite the data in tally 9 version.

  4. Sorry Dear shailiji

    I beg to differ,
    if there are an element of freight,packing of other charges in an excise bill, then people will not be able to make entry in a purchase register in Tally.erp 9. also in case of purchase through dealer (with counter bill of mfg. excise) it is almost impossible to make entry in tally.erp 9 purchase voucher. unfortunately bI made entry through journal register and i have to give up input credit on such purchases.
    unless tally team rectify this entry, it is not advisable to migrate to tally.erp 9. people will not be able to generate vat reports and have to calculate vat figures manually. however if they continue on tally 9 then there is no problem. but i got information from tally team that co-existance is available only for 45 days after activation of tally.erp 9
    best regards,

  6. Sorry to say you all that the new tally.erp.9 is "NOT FREE" to any one.

    It is free for upgrade only and you have to pay Rs. 16200/- as "Tally .Net subscription" p.a.

  7. Tally.Net is an additional service. If you want to avail then you have to pay accordingly. If you can do without it then upgradation is free for you.

  8. it is difficult to work on tally.erp if you don't avail the tally.net because if your system crush down or your somehow lost the license then you won't be able to reactivate your license without tally.net id and password. so, according to me tally company have very cleverly find a way to make money.
    Further through tally.net you only can view the transaction as they haven't yet add the facility of entering translations through remote user so only for viewing transactions Rs. 16200 is very much !
    if Tally will work in this way, then I afraid it will lost the goodwill of its loyal customers. its support center is a totally paralyzed and needs support itself!

  9. Mahendra, In my opinion if you dont avail tally net facility the also you can manage your tally.net id for licensing purpose. cos if you subscription expires then still you will be able to manage your license activation only when you try to log remotely it would say your subscription expired.

  10. Dear Shailiji
    Thansk for your answer
    I am not sure but I do remember that during the month of April, 2009, I lost my license and upon contact to tally support team the only way they suggested me to reactivate the license through the tally.net id. Also even if you want to surrender the license then you will need your tally.net id and password. since our license is expired on 29.05.09, I can't take risk at the moment to check what is correct. but soon I will ask a clarification from the tally team on the matter. an official response from the tally team is most appreciated

  11. Respected Sir,

    Thanking YOu

  12. Respected Ahsan,

    Since Tally.ERP 9 has a completely new data storage and licensing mechanism, Tally 9 cannot be used mixed with Tally.ERP 9. Data from Tally 9 can be migrated to Tally.ERP 9 format and continue to use only in Tally.ERP 9.

    Can you tell me what sort of problem you are facing in one computer with Tally.ERP 9.

  13. Respected Mahendra,

    In Tally.ERP 9, Reactivate, Update and Surrender of license is done after doing authentication using Tally.NET User ID and Password. This is happening to protect the user's interest.

    Though Tally.NET Subscription expired, basic licensing operations continue to work using Tally.NET user ID and password.

    Valid Tally.NET Subscription is required only to get product update/upgrade, Remote Access and Data Synchronization using Tally.NET Servers.

    Thank you.

  14. Respected Mahendra,

    In one of your post, you were mentioning problem in Tally.ERP 9 purchase register entry, freight, packing or other charges will not be able to include in excise bill.

    But it is possible to do that. In Company configuration "Enable Excise" has to be set to Yes, in ledger creation time, "Use for assessable value calculation" has to be set to Yes and "Apportion for" has to be set to "Excise & VAT" and choose appropriate method of Apportion.

    Thank you

  15. i just read the mail regarding upgradation of tally 9 to tally 9 erp.

    i then called up the customer care reagarding the details. after the discussion with them, i found that once i upgrade to tally 9 erp and if the software is faulty as mentioned by mahen then i cannot come back to tally 9 older version. already tally 9 older version has lot of flaws but still i can cope up with it. but once i upgrade i will have no other option. tally people should look into the above matter and make the note of it. I do not understand how can anybody compromise with the accounting software. When we can go for office 2007 even after we will convert that office 2007 file to office 2003 , for ex: if I create a excel file like roop.xlsx then I am able to convert it to roop.xls, then why not Tally ?? if anyone finds office 2007 package not suitable then he can switch bank to older office package. but in your case we cannot do it.

    Thanks you
