This article explains Tally Prime maximum concurrent users in a clear and practical way, helping you choose the right license and setup for your business.

What Are Concurrent Users in Tally Prime?

Concurrent users mean the number of users who can access and work on the same Tally company at the same time.

Example:

• If 3 people open the same Tally company simultaneously and work together, that means 3 concurrent users.

Tally Prime controls concurrent users through license type, not by login IDs.
