Shailendra

 Tally Prime is here. It has several Meanings for a Tally user. As Tally Prime is launched on Nov 9, 2020, It mean that :-

But for many of us it may not be possible to update immediately to Tally Prime as we may be having several challenges. Their must be some TCP’s which our business is using and we may not have the updates for those TCP’s. There may be some more reasons also which may be differ from user to user. See my article on things you should know before updating your TallyPrime. 

But still if we want to experience the all new Tally Prime or want to learn or experiment  with it and also want to keep on doing your regular existing work in Tally.ERP 9 then this is also possible. You can work in Tally Prime and Tally.ERP 9 simultaneously.

How this can be achieved?

Follow these steps :

  • Take a backup of Your Data. This is a precautionary step. Just take it. 
  • Surrender your exist Tally.ERP 9 license. You can refer to my post on how to activate surrender your Tally License for reference. This step is optional but you should do it.
  • Go to Download page of Tally Prime and download it.
  • Install Tally Prime on a different folder. (Don’t overwrite the existing folder which is c:Program FilesTallyTally.ERP 9). You can make a small change. Install Tally Prime on c:Program FilesTallyTallyPrime see the series of pics to know how to do it.
Press More actions to change the path
Enter on Install New
Click Configure to configure the new path
You can define your own path if you want. otherwise Tally’s New path is C:Program FilesTallyPrime. I have changed it to c:Program FilesTallyTallyPrime It would create the new path 
Press enter to change the new path of the application
Enter your own path for Tally Prime
  • – Reactivate your TallyPrime license.Your same email id and is valid for the upgrade. Please make sure your TSS is not expired, because you would not be able to activate license on TallyPrime if your TSS is expired.  
Reactivate your Existing Tally License
  • – Now go to Tally.ERP 9 you may find License Compromise message in license no window. Just press F12,–> License and use Configure existing license. Press F2 and see if any license appears there? Accept it and your Tally.ERP 9 is also. working. 

A word of Caution

Remember to separate your Data folders also. It should be different for TallyPrime, because if you open an existing company in TallyPrime then data would be changed according to TallyPrime which would not be usable in Tally.ERP 9. 

“It is advisable to  make a new data directory for TallyPrime if you are using TallyPrime and Tally.ERP 9 both. It can be D:TallyPrimeData” See pics on how to change your data folder in Tally Prime.

Click on Top Menu Data option
Click Data Path
Press enter to change the existing path
You can define your own path

This video explains both the processes. Update your existing license or add as new license.
