fetch from bloomberg!

How can I fetch prices from bloomberg on another machine where bloomberg is not installed?.. Thanks!

Hmm, I'm pretty sure, reading data from bloomberg works only on a machine that has bloomberg installed: from doc blp

c = blp makes a connection to the local Bloomberg V3 communications server. You must have a Bloomberg software license for the host on which the Datafeed Toolbox and MATLAB software are running.

Yep, that's true. The same holds true for just going to the respective web sites...
