Yes, it is just a regular computer running Bloomberg software. It is tightly locked down, you can't set it up to remote desktop into one.

- zelly 6y agoWhy not? How can it tell if you're remoteing? I though I've seen people use Bloomberg software over RDP and AWS Workspaces on Windows.
- chirau 6y agoThat's B-PIPE. You can get Bloomberg Market Data Feed via that. It's also a pre-built solution. You are not exactly connecting to your own computer/terminal
- oxfordmale 6y agoBloomberg did regularly audit our Open Terminal. If you fall foul of their license agreement, you will have to pay up.
- chollida1 6y ago> It is tightly locked down, you can't set it up to remote desktop into one. That's not exactly right. There are two flavours of the terminal. Anywhere, locked to a user via biometric login but can be installed on multiple machines, though running only on on e at a time. Open Terminal, locked to a machine but anyone can log into it. Its true that the open terminal wont' allow you to RDP into it, but bloomberg anywhere will let you rdp into a machine running it. I do that daily when working from home.
- jonathanpoulter 6y agoEssentially you can access BBG Anywhere without any hardware or BBG software, through a Citrix connection: https://bba.bloomberg.net/?utm_source=bloomberg-menu&utm_medium=bcom https://bba.bloomberg.net/?utm_source=bloomberg-menu&utm_med...
- fargo 6y agoNot true, I have been accessing remotely my BB Terminal since 2012. It's just an application that runs on any windows machine.
