Tally's own "TallyPrime on AWS" service now runs on Oracle Cloud under a new name. You can still put TallyPrime on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud yourself, or let a managed host run the server. Here is what each route costs, who does the work, and where the Microsoft and Tally licensing traps are.
Tally on AWS has changed. Tally's own "TallyPrime on AWS" service is now TallyPrime Cloud Access, moved to Oracle Cloud in February 2026, from ₹600 per user per month plus GST. You can still run your licensed TallyPrime on your own AWS, Azure or Google server, managing Windows and Remote Desktop licences yourself, or use a managed Windows host.
Until early 2026, Tally Solutions sold a hosted service called TallyPrime on AWS: a virtual computer with TallyPrime preinstalled, running on Amazon Web Services. The service still exists. The cloud underneath it and the name on the box have changed.
Tally's hosted packs ran on Amazon Web Services. Tally community posts from November 2024 still use the AWS name, which is why so many search results do too.
On 9 February 2026, Oracle announced that Tally had moved the service to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Tally's product page now describes it as hosted on OCI. The model carries over: one virtual computer per pack, licence bought separately.
On 6 October 2026, both of Tally's old "TallyPrime on AWS" addresses returned a permanent (301) redirect to the Cloud Access page.
So what does "Tally on AWS" mean today? One of two things. Either it's Tally's own service under its old name, which is how some partner price lists still show the Personal, Regular and Regular Plus packs, or it's TallyPrime on a Windows server that you rent from AWS yourself. This page compares both with a third route: a managed Windows host. If the term Tally on Cloud is new to you, start there.
Every route runs the same TallyPrime and needs the same TallyPrime licence. What changes is who runs the server, which devices work, and how much of your own time it takes.
Tally allows it. Its licensing best practices (updated 11 June 2026) say you can "host your own license on a cloud platform like AWS, Azure" or a private cloud, for your own business use. Hosting one licence and giving your own branches access is fine; sharing it with another business or client is misuse.
TallyPrime installs only on Windows, so whichever cloud you pick, you rent a Windows Server virtual machine, install TallyPrime on it and reach it over Remote Desktop. Nothing about TallyPrime is AWS-specific. TallyPrime on Azure and Tally on Google Cloud follow exactly the same steps; only the console and the bill look different.
Pick an Indian region. Tally says a licence must be used mainly, at least 75 percent, in the geography it was bought for, and a server close to your users keeps typing responsive. All three big clouds now have more than one Indian region:
| Cloud | India regions |
|---|---|
| AWS | Asia Pacific (Mumbai) ap-south-1; Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) ap-south-2Hyderabad is an opt-in region you enable first (AWS) |
| Microsoft Azure | West India (Mumbai), Central India (Pune), South India (Chennai), India South Central (Hyderabad)Hyderabad went live on 6 Aug 2026 (Microsoft) |
| Google Cloud | asia-south1 (Mumbai); asia-south2 (Delhi)See Google's locations page |
# TallyPrime on your own AWS account: the runbook [set up once] launch a licence-included Windows Server VM in ap-south-1 create an Active Directory and the RDS licence server add an RD Gateway or VPN; never open port 3389 to the internet turn on two-step login for every user install TallyPrime 7.1, reactivate your licence set antivirus exclusions for the Tally data folder connect Mac, iPhone and Android users with Windows App [every month] apply Windows updates, reboot out of hours check snapshots and a TallyPrime backup; test a restore add or remove users in the directory and License Manager watch disk space, failed logins and the bill [when it breaks] "Tally won't open", "printer missing", "licence error" → that call comes to you
A typical self-managed setup, not an official AWS checklist. Mac printers reach the session through a generic driver, and phones and tablets don't redirect printers at all, per Microsoft. Our Tally RDP guide covers the client side in detail.
None of these jobs is hard for a Windows administrator. The real question is whose time they use, every month, for as long as your books live there. The admin-hours slider in the cost and effort table puts a rupee figure on it.
A Windows instance on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud includes the Windows Server licence in its hourly price. That covers the server, not the people using it. Microsoft requires a Remote Desktop Services licence for each user or device that connects to a Remote Desktop session host, and the 120-day grace period after setup is a technical allowance, not a licence.
On AWS, the usual way to buy those licences for your own business is License Manager user-based subscriptions. AWS's documentation sets out the practical details:
Then there is Tally's own layer. Every TallyPrime window opened over Remote Desktop uses a Tally Virtual User (TVU): Silver includes 1 and Gold includes 10, and Gold owners can buy more at ₹125 per user per month, billed annually, according to Tally's TVU FAQ. The same FAQ says the licence and the data must sit on the same virtual machine. Our TVU guide works through examples.
Included in the hourly price of a licence-included Windows instance on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Paid to the cloud, by the hourOne per person who signs in. On AWS, an RDS SAL subscription through License Manager, linked to your Active Directory.
Paid per user, per monthSilver or Gold, owned or rented, in your business's name. Remote sessions count against its Tally Virtual Users.
Paid to Tally, on every routeIf an IT firm hosts Tally for you on AWS or Azure, ask how its users are licensed. Since 1 October 2025, service providers reportedly can no longer use their own SPLA licences on Microsoft's "Listed Providers": AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Alibaba (Octopus Cloud, Jan 2026). Licence-included options from the cloud remain. Treat this as reported and confirm it with a Microsoft licensing reseller. Our provider checklist lists the other questions to ask.
This is the service that used to be TallyPrime on AWS, so it's the honest answer to "Tally AWS price per month". You buy it through a Tally partner on 3, 6 or 12-month terms that auto-renew, and you bring or buy the TallyPrime licence separately.

Hosting only, from Tally's customer hub and product page, checked 6 Oct 2026. Packs come in fixed sizes, so a five-person team pays for the 8-user Regular Pro pack. The TallyPrime licence is extra.
The third route keeps the Windows server and hands the runbook to someone else. With TallyoCloud, each company gets a private Windows Server VM in Mumbai, with its own TallyPrime licence and data on it, as Tally's rules require.
Private VMs for 1 to 9 users, dedicated VMs from 10 users and dedicated hosts for larger teams, sized from your real data at migration.

How migration worksWhat you give up. Compared with DIY, you don't control the cloud account, so you can't add your own AWS or Azure services next to TallyPrime. Compared with Tally's Cloud Access, you pay more per user. Disclosure: TallyoCloud sells managed hosting and is an independent host, not Tally Solutions. Every claim about AWS, Microsoft and Tally on this page links to their own pages, as our editorial policy requires. Full plans are on the pricing page.

All amounts exclude 18% GST. Cloud Access prices from Tally's customer hub, checked 6 Oct 2026; above 16 users the calculator uses Server Pack sizes, which include TallyPrime Server. TallyoCloud figures use our flat ₹799 per user per month. DIY cloud prices change by instance size, region and usage, so we don't guess them: enter your own quote. Default slider values are examples, not measurements.
Remote Desktop sends screen updates and keystrokes, not your company files. Microsoft's RDP bandwidth guidance puts active office-style work at roughly 150 to 200 Kbps in the default mode, and an idle session uses almost nothing. Bandwidth is rarely the problem. Distance is: a server in Singapore or the US adds a round trip to every keystroke, so keep TallyPrime in an Indian region whichever cloud you use. Our internet speed guide goes further.
Residency matters for compliance too. If your business is a company, the Companies (Accounts) Rules, as amended in August 2022, require a daily backup of books kept electronically on servers physically located in India, and a yearly note to the Registrar of the service provider's name, IP address and location.

Not under that name. Tally's former 'TallyPrime on AWS' service is now TallyPrime Cloud Access, and Oracle announced on 9 February 2026 that Tally had moved it to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Tally's old AWS pages now redirect permanently to the Cloud Access page, which we confirmed on 6 October 2026. Partner price lists that still say 'Tally on AWS' usually show the same Cloud Access packs under the old name.
Tally's own service, formerly TallyPrime on AWS, costs ₹600 per user per month for one or two users and ₹450 per user on 4 to 16-user packs, plus 18% GST, on 3, 6 or 12-month terms. TallyPrime on your own AWS server has no fixed price: you pay for the Windows instance, storage, backups and a monthly Remote Desktop licence for each user. Your TallyPrime licence is extra either way.
Yes. Tally's licensing guidance allows you to host your own licence on AWS, Azure or a private cloud for your own business use. You then run Windows Server, Remote Desktop licensing, security patches, backups and monitoring yourself. Remote users still count as Tally Virtual Users, with 1 included in Silver and 10 in Gold, and the licence must never be shared with another business.
Microsoft requires a Remote Desktop licence for each person who connects to a hosted Windows session. On AWS, the usual route is a licence-included Windows Server instance plus per-user RDS SAL subscriptions through AWS License Manager, billed monthly with no proration and linked to an Active Directory. Service providers reportedly cannot use their own SPLA licences on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Alibaba since 1 October 2025.
Yes, on a Windows Server virtual machine, exactly as on AWS. Azure has four India regions, including India South Central in Hyderabad, which Microsoft opened on 6 August 2026, and Google Cloud has regions in Mumbai and Delhi. The work is the same on every cloud: Windows, Remote Desktop licences, a secure gateway, patches and backups. Tally's own hosted service runs on Oracle Cloud instead.
Use an Indian region: Asia Pacific (Mumbai), ap-south-1, or Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), ap-south-2, which you must enable on your account first. Tally says a licence must be used mainly, at least 75 percent, in the geography it was bought for, and companies must keep daily backups of electronic books on servers in India, so keep snapshots and backup copies in India too.
It can be, once you count your time. A DIY AWS bill covers the server, storage and Remote Desktop licences, but someone still patches Windows, checks backups, adds users and fixes login problems every month. A managed host such as TallyoCloud folds that work into its per-user price. If your team only uses Windows, Linux or a Mac browser, Tally's own Cloud Access is usually the smallest bill.
