Video on how to install BMD Go
The following video provides an overview of the necessary steps to activate the BMD Go app. Alternatively, you can follow the step-by-step instructions for setting up BMD Go below.
1. How can I get the BMD Go app?
You can download the BMD Go app in the Google Play Store for Android and in the Apple App Store for iOS. BMD NTCS version 2022.25.01 or 2022.25.02 including the respective latest web updates is required for the app to run smoothly.
2.1. Log in using a QR code (recommended)
You can conveniently log in using a QR code that contains your BMD Go login details. The data are transferred automatically. For this, the URL to the web server needs to be stored in the BMD NTCS parameters:
TOOLS → Tools → Settings → TOOLS parameters → BMD Com/Web/Mobile → General settings → General → “URL to own server for BMD Com/Web/Mobile”)
For information on where to get the QR code for the login, please refer to sections a, b and c. How to get the QR code depends on the BMD program that you are using.
2.2. Manual entry
Server: Enter here the URL provided by your administrator or BMD Com operator. If you are using BMD Web or BMD Com, you have to enter the same URL that you use to access BMD Web or BMD Com in the browser. Please make sure that it contains “/bmdweb.dll” or “/bmdcom.dll” at the end (e.g. webserver/bmdweb/bmdweb.dll). For older versions, the DLL might still be called “bmdweb2.dll” or “bmdcom2.dll”.

3. Will the appearance or the functionality of the app be different?
Yes, it is a completely new app which also has new functions. However, users who are familiar with BMD Mobile should be able to continue working seamlessly as all existing functions are also available in BMD Go. All you need to do is download the new BMD Go app in the app store and log in.
4. Does the communication between the app and the server change?
Yes, for BMD Mobile the communication is based on SOAP and for BMD Go it is based on REST. All data that are required to use the new functions are transferred.
