Tally multi-user on a Windows RDP — the office that never closes.

The classic problem: Tally lives on the office PC, so whoever isn’t in the office can’t post entries — or worse, the data travels on USB sticks and WhatsApp zips until nobody knows which company file is current. A Windows VPS inverts it: Tally and the data live on the server, and everyone connects over RDP to the same installation.

Multi-user Tally is designed for exactly this. License the server once, share the data folder, and your team works concurrently — entries, invoicing and reports all hitting one authoritative copy. At 5–15ms from most Indian cities, RDP to our Mumbai or Delhi nodes feels like the PC is in the next room.

Bonus: the server never sleeps. Year-end work at 2 AM, your CA logging in from another city, GST filing on the last day — the machine is just on.

• 1. Deploy a Windows VPS — Cottage (4GB) suits 1–3 concurrent users, Bungalow (8GB) for 4–8.
• 2. Receive admin RDP credentials by email (~60 seconds) and connect: mstsc on Windows, "Windows App" on Mac/phone.
• 3. Install Tally Prime on the server, activate your licence, and place your company data in a shared folder.
• 4. Create a Windows user per accountant — each RDP session is independent, all hit the same Tally data.
• 5. Point your team at the server IP; restrict RDP to your office IP or a VPN if you want it locked down.

When this is NOT enough

A single VPS handles most firms up to ~10 concurrent users. Past that — multi-branch setups with heavy concurrent reporting — split data access onto Windows Terminal Server licensing or ask us about a larger dedicated slice. If you only ever have ONE user, a 2GB tier works but 4GB is far more comfortable.
