What Tally is

Tally Prime is the accounting standard for a very large share of Indian businesses, and it is a Windows desktop application. Running it "on cloud" means running Windows on a server and giving your team remote desktop access to it — not a web version, because there is not one.

That shape is what makes it useful. A single company data file on a server means the accountant, the auditor and the branch office all work on the same books rather than emailing copies of a file and reconciling later. Multi-user Tally on a local network already works this way; a VPS extends it to anyone with an internet connection.

Two things to be clear about. The Tally licence is yours — we host the software, we do not resell it, and you activate your own licence on the instance. And Windows Server needs a licence of its own for the instance: free for your first 180 days, then a key of your own - a step Linux plans do not have.

Why run Tally on a VPS

One company data file everyone works on, instead of copies being emailed around.

Servers in India, which matters for RDP responsiveness and for data residency.

Nightly whole-server backups, company file included, as a paid add-on with one-click restore.

Printer and e-way bill passthrough to local devices over RDP.

Your Tally licence stays yours — we host it, we do not resell it.

How deployment works

Tally Prime is installed on a Windows instance with RDP access configured for your named users and printer redirection enabled. Nightly backups of the whole server, company data file included, are available as a paid add-on. You activate your own Tally licence, which stays yours throughout — we host Tally, we do not resell it. The Windows Server instance licence is free for your first 180 days and yours to arrange after that; it is separate from the Tally licence either way.

It is your server. Tally is installed directly on your VPS or VDS, not inside a container we manage. You get root over SSH, you can install anything alongside it, change its configuration, or remove it entirely. We do not hold a key to it.
