Upgrading from the BlackBerry Professional Software to
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
1
Your organization can upgrade from the BlackBerry® Professional Software to a supported higher version of the BlackBerry®
Enterprise Server. The decision to upgrade might be influenced by factors such as the following:
• The number of BlackBerry device users in your organization is approaching the maximum of 30 users.
• The number of users or administrators in your organization requires group-based or role-based administration.
• Users need access to applications that were developed using the BlackBerry® MDS Studio or the BlackBerry® Plug-
in for Microsoft® Visual Studio®.
• Users want to use collaboration clients, such as the BlackBerry® Client for IBM® Lotus® Connections.

Host server and database upgrade scenarios
Hardware Scenario
host server The BlackBerry® Professional Software must be installed on the computer where you plan
to install the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software.
• If the BlackBerry Professional Software is currently installed on a computer that is
separate from the messaging server, you can upgrade to the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server on the same computer.
• If the BlackBerry Professional Software is currently installed on the computer that
hosts the messaging server, you must first install the BlackBerry Professional Software
on the computer where you plan to install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software.
You can then upgrade to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on this computer.
• If you plan to install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on more than one
computer, you must install the BlackBerry Professional Software on each computer
that you plan to use. You can then upgrade to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on
each computer.
database
• If the computer that hosts the messaging server currently also hosts the BlackBerry
Configuration Database, you do not have to move the BlackBerry Configuration
Database when you upgrade to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
• If you plan to move the existing BlackBerry Configuration Database to a new
Microsoft® SQL Server®, you must perform the move before you begin the upgrade
process.
Upgrade Guide
Host server and database upgrade scenarios
6
Hardware Scenario
• If the BlackBerry Configuration Database is currently installed on a computer that is
separate from the messaging server, you can configure the connection to the
BlackBerry Configuration Database during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server upgrade
process.
• If you are adding a large number of users, or if you expect a significant increase in
the number of email messages that users send and receive, consider moving the
BlackBerry Configuration Database to its own host computer. You perform this move
before you begin the upgrade process.
