Differentiating Single user and Multi user

Tally single user and multi user are two different editions of Tally though they are similar in terms of functionality and features. The key difference between Tally single user and double user is related to the number of users operating it.

In silver edition a particular account can be accessed by one single user at a time whereas in Gold edition a minimum of 10 users can access the account at the same time.

Tally multi-user also allows license and data access to remote areas. The single user and multi user also refers to Tally Shoper versions. The Shoper 9 silver version runs only on a single PC whereas the Shoper 9 gold version runs from multiple terminals in a local area network. Tally multi-user is suggested for stores with many PCs whereas Tally single user is suggested for a small store. As a result of these differences, the cost varies with Tally multi-user being more expensive than Tally single user. While using Tally, one can switch from silver to gold edition anytime without buying a new Tally Gold edition.
