Installing MobileTech

...

  • Before you upgrade from a previous version of MobileTech:
    • Make sure that all mobile devices have been synchronized to the host system. If you've made changes to views or stored procedures in previous versions of MobileTech, those changes will be overwritten during the upgrade.
    • IMPORTANT: Inactivate any active Woodford projects before running the upgrade.
  • You'll be prompted to install database objects the first time you log into MobileTech Administration after upgrading. You must do this for each company. If you're not prompted to install database objects, go to Tools > Create MobileTech Objects and select Process. For more information, see Log into MobileTech Administration in the Installation & Administration Guide. For additional upgrade notes, see Upgrade MobileTech Server in the Installation & Administrative Guide. Installing database objects during an upgrade does not remove any data from the middle tier.

Installing MobileTech for the First Time

You can install and set up MobileTech as described in the Signature MobileTech Installation & Administration Guide.

Important Notes

  • Microsoft announced on May 24, 2024, that they are deprecating Bing Maps. Customers using Bing Maps for Enterprise Basic or Free license will no longer be able to use Bing Maps for Enterprise services beyond June 30, 2025. To continue using Mapping in MobileTech, you will need to obtain a Google Maps API key at https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/. (You will need an API key that includes Maps and Routes. You do not need Places.) See Enter the Google Maps API Key.
  • As App Stores increase their security requirements, HTTPS (with Trusted SSL Certificates) will soon become required across all device types.  Therefore, we recommend you transition your MobileTech environment to use SSL with a trusted certificate.
  • Do not install MobileTech server components on your SQL Server machine. 
  • Install MobileTech Administration on the MobileTech web server.
  • Verify the eTimeTrack Web Service current release version matches the installed version of Signature. For installation instructions for each component, see the Installation & Administration Guide.
