An Access Key should only be required for a new installation of a Bloomberg Professional Terminal subscription. The key can be obtained from your installations representative and requires an order number. All other actions can be performed from the CONN menu and selecting the appropriate tab based on your license.

The installation will typically take 10 to 15 minutes depending on the performance of the workstation.

Bloomberg recommends that its customers run the current version of software at all times. We release a new version of the software on a monthly basis and will automatically update with no action needed from the user. Should you wish to manually update your software, please download the appropriate file(s) by visiting the following link: http://www.bloomberg.com/professional/software_support.

Bloomberg expires older versions of software on the 1st of every even month. The automatic update feature means that most users are not impacted by this process. Three weeks prior to the expiration of older versions, any Terminal in danger of being expired will be alerted upon login. They are presented with a full screen notice page, giving appropriate steps to ensure they see no disruption to their service.

The 'New Installation' package (sotrtmmddyyyy.exe) supports the unintended or silent install switch (/s). This feature also supports customized installation settings via a configuration file (setup.blp). A copy of this file, with further detailed information on its usage can be found in the temp directory of an existing terminal.

Please run the 'Bloomberg API Diagnostics' tool and use the 'Repair' feature to correct this problem. The tool is called "bxladiag.exe". It can be located by Start -> Search with 'bxladiag.exe' and can be run by double-clicking it.

Upon trying to access your Blackberry again, your device will prompt you for a B-Unit code as an added security measure.

However, if you are logged into the Bloomberg application for iPad, you can access Bloomberg on a mobile device. You will only have access to real-time data on one device at a time.
