1. On the taskbar, click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. In the list of currently installed programs, click BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
4. Click Support Information.
5. Retrieve the version number.
Changes to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 3.5.2 and earlier
environment
When you upgrade from BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 3.5.2 or BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 2.1.5,
the following changes occur:
• updates to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software
• removal of the Microsoft® administrative extensions
• creation of a new schema for the BlackBerry Configuration Database

Changes to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 3.6 environment
When you upgrade from BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 3.6, the following changes occur:
• updates to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software
• consolidation of BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances
• creation of a new schema for the BlackBerry Configuration Database
• migration of user accounts to the new schema
You can preview the user account migration into the BlackBerry Configuration Database to identify any issues that
might occur (for example, identifying inactive user accounts that you cannot migrate) and to estimate the time
that it should take to migrate user accounts during the upgrade process.
Changes to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 4.0 environment
When you upgrade from BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 4.0, the following changes occur:
• updates to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software, including any BlackBerry components that you installed
separately (for example, the BlackBerry Manager)
• upgrades to the schema of the BlackBerry Configuration Database
Before you upgrade to BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 4.1.4, make sure that all BlackBerry Enterprise Servers
in your environment that share a BlackBerry Configuration Database are Version 4.0.3 or higher. Certain
components in earlier versions of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server are not optimized for use with the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server Version 4.1.4.

Upgrade the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server using a
cutover process.
The cutover upgrade
process installs BlackBerry
Enterprise Server Version
4.1.4 on a new computer
and migrates user
accounts and server
information from the old
BlackBerry Enterprise
Server to the new one.
After you migrate the user
accounts and server
information, you stop the
old BlackBerry Enterprise
Server and start the new
one.
This upgrade process uses
the same SRP credentials
on both the old and new
BlackBerry Enterprise
Servers.
Use this upgrade process
only when upgrading from
BlackBerry Enterprise
Server Version 3.6.
• you can add user
accounts back to the
old BlackBerry
Enterprise Server if
you encounter any
problems on the new
one
• you can move to new

interruption using this
upgrade process

you gradually create
Version 4.1.4 BlackBerry
Enterprise Servers and

them.
In a mixed-version
environment that includes
BlackBerry components at
Version 4.1.4, the
BlackBerry Manager must
not be at a higher version
than the BlackBerry

Upgrading to BlackBerry Device Software Version 4.1 and
later
When you upgrade the BlackBerry Enterprise Server you might also want to upgrade the BlackBerry Device
Software so that users can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 4.1.4 features.
You are not required to upgrade the BlackBerry Device Software. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 4.1.4
supports BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry Device Software Version 4.0.x and earlier.
You can upgrade only BlackBerry devices with 32 MB of flash memory to BlackBerry Device Software Version 4.1.
To upgrade the BlackBerry Device Software, you must connect a BlackBerry device to a computer. You cannot
distribute the BlackBerry Device Software over the wireless network. If users’ BlackBerry devices are running
BlackBerry Device Software Version 4.0 or later, wireless synchronization occurs after the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server upgrade completes. Visit www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic to read article KB-04295 for more
information about which software versions cause an automatic wireless synchronization to occur.

Additional upgrade resources
The following upgrade options might apply to your BlackBerry environment. Use the resources listed in the
following table to plan and perform the upgrade.
Upgrade option Description Resource
Move the BlackBerry
Configuration Database to a
different database
application.
You must upgrade from Microsoft® SQL
Server™ Database Engine (MSDE) Version 7
to MDSE 2000 or to Microsoft SQL Server.
Visit www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic to read
article KB-03112 for more information.
Change to a new license
model during the upgrade.
If you are changing from the BlackBerry®
Enterprise Server - Small Business Edition
to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you
require a new client access license key in
addition to the software.
Visit www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic to read
article KB-03535 for more information.
Upgrade a pilot environment
to a production environment.
If you have a separate BlackBerry
Configuration Database in your pilot
environment, you must consider how to use
the BlackBerry Configuration Database in
your production environment.
You can make the pilot BlackBerry
Configuration Database your new
production BlackBerry Configuration
Database. When you upgrade the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use this
new BlackBerry Configuration Database,
use wireless enterprise activation to
migrate user accounts to the new database.
You can also upgrade your existing
production BlackBerry Configuration
Database to BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Version 4.1.4. When you configure the pilot
BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use the
production BlackBerry Configuration
Database, use wireless enterprise
activation to migrate user accounts to the
new database.
BlackBerry devices must be running
BlackBerry Device Software Version 4.0 or
later to use wireless enterprise activation.
