"If anyone have any BUSYWIN Accounting Package related query then post your query here..."

At present there is no seperate forum for BUSYWIN like Tally, I post here. Though I am not expert, but I would like to help your issues if possible.

This Busywin Software is popular in the North India and this CACLUBINDIA Forum is popular in South India, so you may not get good response for your post, but experienced busywin users (over 3 lac users) should help when they know about this forum.

BUSY has a No. 2 market position, as compared to Tally.

The totally free version of BUSYWIN is available for download from below link.

>Can i copy the software to CD to instal in my other machine. If it is possible, plase tell me how.

Yes, as it is a free version, you can copy to CD or Pen Drive to install to any other Machine (But you can not sell). If you have a CD Writer, it sholud have a software to copy files to Cd. But with pen drives it is very easy to copy. You have to just insert pen drive to you USB drive and copy the files.

Remember this is a Single User Version for Free. If you want Multi User version you have to use paid version.

Thanks for sharing.

I suggest Busy should also link its other Payroll software BUSYPAY with Accounting software so any accouting transection in Busypay can refelect in Busy Account software

Provide Payroll features in Accouting software like Tally 9 has.

Provide Histrory tracking for Data Frezzing so one can know who has done data freezing when and what type of vouchers are freezed for which users, etc.

Presently it provides for Maharashtra only Mvat Form 231, so provide other Mvat forms and CST Forms.

Busy users should post there suggestions to improve Busy further, here also for sharing.
