Could not connect to Tally / Trial version

Published · Updated

This post shows how to resolve the following issues:
a. Could not connect to Tally Software
b. Trial version (for udiMagic licensed users)

SOLUTION

STEP 1: Set Tally ODBC Port (see guidelines below).

STEP 2: If it still doesn't work with Tally ODBC Port 9000, then retry the same steps with ODBC Port 9001 or 9002 or 9003 etc. Also note that you must specify the same Port in both Tally and udiMagic settings.

GUIDELINES for the settings to be done in udiMagic and Tally

Settings in Tally:

Select option "Gateway of Tally >> F12 >> Advanced Configuration" and do the following settings:

Tally is acting as: Both

Enable ODBC Server: Yes

Port: 9000 (Note: If you change the ODBC Port in Tally, then you must change the Port-Number in udiMagic settings also)

Settings in udiMagic:

Start udiMagic and go to the 2nd screen and specify or change the settings:

Tally Port: 9000 (Warning: Do not change the Port to 9999 as that is reserved for Tally License Server)

Tally IP Address: 127.0.0.1 (Warning: Please do not change it to 192.168.0.? i.e. IP address of Tally License Server)

How to test whether Tally ODBC is working?

You can test by connecting to Tally using any browser viz Chrome, Firefox etc. In the browser address bar, type:

http://127.0.0.1:9000 [for IPv4 connectivity]

or http://[::1]:9000 [for IPv6 connectivity]

or http://localhost:9000 [Resolves to IPV4 or IPv6 as mentioned above]

Remarks:

A common mistake is to change the Tally IP-Address to 192.168.0.? based on the misconception that the Tally data is on the Server. No, that is wrong. Please keep the Tally IP Address as default i.e. 127.0.0.1
