udiMagic v12 Release 6.0

Problem Description

Unable to use udiMagic Software (i.e. activate the license or import data into Tally) when the Regional format is set to Indonesia in "Windows >> Control Panel >> Region >> Additional Settings".

Cause of Problem

When the Regional format is set as "Indonesia" in Windows Control Panel, the decimal separator is set as comma and the thousand separator is set as dot. This causes the udiMagic application to behave abnormally.

Solution

udiMagic now checks and prompts to update the Regional Settings from within the application itself. Once the settings are updated, the application must be restarted to take effect and then it works normally.

Note:
udiMagic configures the Regional format (in the Windows Regional Settings) as shown below:

Decimal Separator is set as dot (.)
Thousand Separator is set as comma (,)
List Separator is set as comma (,)

Regional and Language Settings

While using UDIMagic, you must ensure that the "Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options" is set to "English (UK)" or "English (US)".

PS:
In one of the cases, where the Client was from Indonesia, we noticed that some Excel functions do not work (using UDIMagic) if the Country was set as Indoensia in the Regional and Language Options. On changing is to "English (United Kingdom)" it worked fine.
