Installing BLS-2025 at an older Conqueror center

Products > BLS > BLS-2025 > Automatic Scoring
If your center is using QubicaAMF Conqueror Pro where the backoffice computer is running Windows 7, you will need to set up a new computer to move your BLS operations to.  

  1. Set Up a New Computer:
    • Get a new or repurpose an existing computer with Windows 11 Pro or Windows 10 Pro. This will be your "CDE Computer".
  2. Connect to the Network:
    • Make sure the CDE Computer is connected to the same physical network as your QubicaAMF Front Desk Computer.
  3. Network Configuration:
    • Set the CDE Computer to join the same network workgroup that the Front Desk computer is configured for.
  4. User Account Setup:
    • Create a new user account on the CDE Computer with the username of "Administrator" and password set to "Conqueror".
    • Ensure this account has administrator rights.
  5. Access the Server:
    • Log out, then log back into the CDE Computer using the new "owner" account.
    • Press the WINDOWS key and R at the same time, type \\FRONTDESK1 in the box, and press Enter.
    • You should now see the SECY shared folder and QDESK shared folder without needing to log in again.  Note that sometimes the FrontDesk computer may be named \\FRONTDESK or \\FRONTDESK2 or \\FRONT_DESK so you may need to verify the front desk computer name.
  6. Software Installation:
    • If you can access the server and see the shared folders, go ahead and install BLS on the CDE Computer.
    • This computer will handle all BLS-related tasks, allowing the front desk computer to send leagues out to the lanes.
And that's it! Your scoring system should now be integrated with your CDE software, ready to manage your leagues smoothly.
