  • 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.
  • If your technicians need WiFi, and your company typically turns it off overnight and on weekends, you might want to reconsider this practice to ensure they have the necessary access.
