Tally Solutions server crashes

BANGALORE, INDIA: Thousands of servers were affected across the country after Tally Solutions Ltd's main server crashed on Wednesday. This is attributed to Tally's announcement of the new licence protection mechanism.

"We have asked our clients to reactivate their licences. Since morning over one lakh customers have shifted to the new licence. There's heavy rush to download it online. And it has resulted in the delays," said Mangal Karnad of Tally Solutions Private Limited.

On the contrary, the company message on the website stated: "System is down due to maintenance. Please try again after sometime."

Tally Solution is the main licencing authority for softwares. Tally's software is mainly used for vouchers, financial statements, and taxation in many industries, and has specialised packages for retail businesses. More advanced capabilities are found in its ERP package.

Tally Solutions Ltd is a Bangalore-based financial accounting software company that currently sells into more than 100 countries beyond its native India, including the United Kingdom, Bangladesh and the Middle East.
