While this is the basic distinction between the two, businesses are quite complex these days and the decision whether to go for a single or a multi-user Tally may be far more complex. And thus we have simplified this decision-making process by jotting down the in-depth difference between the two versions of Tally.
Tally single user or Tally Silver, is used when a business is interested in using Tally for minimal work like basic accounting, invoice generation, etc. This license is suitable for small businesses that are not considering expansion in their accounting team in the near future. So, when you purchase a Tally single-user license, you will be able to use Tally on a single system at a particular time and hence you cannot multi-task with more than one user. Also, if you need to access Tally you will be able to do so only on the system in which it is installed. If you require to access it remotely. You must have a valid TSS (Tally Software Service). With a valid TSS you can access Tally remotely but with a very limited set of actions like monitoring or creating a few entries.
With TallyPrime, you can access business reports from web browser, wherever you are, and with the promise that your data is available only to you. This comes along with multiple user and feature based security levels. And an additional layer of security called TallyVault, that ensures encryption which no one in the world can break, not even us at Tally.

Step 2 : Configuration Tally Server
Configuration at server end as well as nodes is very important. First of all while installing tally on server the check mark for server should be ticked. Then Tally license on server should be active i.e. Tally on the server should show the serial no and Tally Gold Multi user should be there on right hand top corner of Tally.
It is advisable that you make the folder name according to its version instead of making a default folder like tally only. If version Tally9 is there then the folder should be Tally9.
Share the data folder and give it a name like tally9data. Sharing can be done right clicking the folder and choosing sharing and security. Be sure to allow users to modify the files.

any sugession
You can easily use a single user on multiple computers without LAN connection. In this write-up, you will learn about how to use Tally in two computers with a Single User.
Tally Multi-user was created to be used by numerous users working on different PCs on a LAN network. In order to collaborate on accounting and financial activities, it enables multiple people to access the same data at once.For example, a company with branch offices in multiple locations, where multi-user licenses are activated, can create a multi-site account and centrally manage all their different branch Tally licences.
It's time to upgrade to Tally Multi-user if your company has expanded to the point where multiple users must access the Tally software at once. This version enables simultaneous access by several users to Tally data, which can increase productivity and efficiency.
If you need real-time updates on financial data, from different locations, then Tally multi user is necessary. With single user mode, only one person can work on Tally data at a time, but in multiuser Tally, you can sync the data whenever needed. Data sync feature can be used only when you have a valid TSS (Tally software service) so make sure you renew your TSS yearly.

"Since the tellers of the banks directly handles moneys given to them, would it be prone to corruption from stealing money?" Yes, they could be prone to corruption from stealing money. That's what ledgers were for, incidentally. People feared their money would be stolen, or that the notes could be counterfeited. Any suspicious behavior from a banker (such as being ostentatious) would draw attention, and the law would be swiftly applied, quite possibly by a lynch mob or vigilantes, to any banker who could be shown to be messing with the books. Further, they feared 'runs' on the bank where more people would come in and demand their money / gold than the bank actually held, which would happen if any of those rumors started circulating.
