It took me some trial and error to get Tally (with multi-user license) going on my company network.

Tally installer is needed. On Windows machines, my company just hands over the TallyERP9 folder to dump in the C drive but that doesn't work here. Just gives the "Out of Memory" error.

For Tally to be able to check the multi-user license, the Mac must be connected to the Tally server. To do that, open Finder, and either choose the TallyServer from the left-hand column under Sharing, or press Cmd-K and type the server address as smb://192.168.0.1 or smb://tallyserver or whatever the location is. Enter the password, if any, and tick the "Remember this password" option. Your mac can be set to automatically connect to the TallyServer during start-up.

1. Install Crossover
2. Choose "Install Software"
3. Under "Select an application to install", type Quicken 2011
4. Choose the Tally installer
5. Choose a WinXP bottle and Proceed.
6. A number of other applications like the C++ runtime, Arial font and .NET framework will be installed one after the other.
7. When the Tally.ERP9 setup appears, select the "Multi-user" version. Then, it will ask if this is a client or a server. I chose Server (even though it's not) and that worked, but Client presumably works too.
8. In the Tally.ERP 9 Configuration section, change the data directory by clicking the "..." button, browse under "\" and then "Volumes" to find the drive of the server you connected to earlier. So the data directory path here will look like Z:\Volumes\C\Tally.ERP9\Data instead of the location you enter in Windows which would be something like \tallyserver\C\Tally.ERP9\Data.
9. Finish installing. Tally should run, but it might not apply the server license properly. If you don't know the IP of the Tally server, Clicking F2 will make Tally find it and show you the IP it's at. Note it down.
   Try to configure the server from Tally itself and change it from TallyServer:9999 to the IP address 192.168.0.x:9999 that you noted down.
10. Quit Tally. Crossover will give an error that Quicken was not installed because it can't find it. Click on "Skip Step".

// Editing INI file instead of changing server address in Tally:
9a. Quit Tally. Crossover will give an error that Quicken was not installed because it can't find it. Click on "Skip Step".
9b.In Crossover, go to the menu Configure>Manage Bottles. Click the "Advanced" tab and then "Open C: in Finder".
9c. Open folder Tally.ERP9. Find file "tally.ini". Right click and "Open with">"Other". Choose "TextEdit". Change the Tally License Server to "Tally License Server=192.168.0.x:9999". Save.

Tally should work now.

I was running Tally .ERP9 ver 3.7 on mac using crossover. When I tried to install the latest version of Tally ERP9 ver 4.61 I am getting message "Out of Meemory" and tally fails to load.

PLease help me find a solution for this issue

I have used Wineskin 8 with Wine 1.2.3 and am currently running Tally.ERP9 v 4.61 on Mac OS X 10.9
Steps:

1. Download Wineskin Winery.app from http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-index.php?page=Download

2. Since it is an app, no installation is required. Double click the "Wineskin Winery.app" so downloaded and a dialog box will be displayed with a blank "Installed Engine" and a blank Wrapper Version". click the + sign to download an engine. I am working with the engine "WS8Wine1.2.3" though there are newer versions available and they give the "out of memory error". Once the download is completed ... click on update for the wrapper version and select Wineskin-2.5.12 Once this download is completed too, click on "Create New Blank Wrapper"

3. A dialog box is displayed asking for the name of the app you want to create, in my case I named it as "WS8Wine.1.2.3.Tally.ERP9". A message with X11 permission could be displayed, Allow that. Also another message about geko installation will be displayed. Cancel that. .... once the process is completed the wineskin wrapper will be displayed.

4. Double click the wineskin wrapper from the user/Application folder using Finder. A menu with Install Software is displayed. Select that and in the next screen select the .exe file of the tally version you want to install.

Once done, follow the steps of editing the .ini file for server ip address and data folder path.

Only drawback with this is that there is no access to Printing... not even a preview of a voucher.

Hope this helps

Hi Bimal,
I tried your solution But i am having a problem of providing the path for the data file at the Tally Server its like //192.168.1.XX/Tally.ERP9/Data/ on my other pc running Windows operating System and this works for them. I my case the license is easily picked by the Tally running on Wine but even after providing the path in the Tally configuration file still there are no company visible. Bimal Will you be able to let me know how did you resolve this issue.
