Default Upgrading to Enterprise 4.1.6

Please Login to Remove!
Ok...so don't ask me how this happened, but in my company apparently we had 2 version's of the BES software floating around. The one that we installed, was "Blackberry Small Business Edition 4.1.4".

Soooo when I tried to do the upgrade this morning to 4.1.6, I got this "trad-up key" license that I had to put in...and I had no idea about that. I found the other version that we had, which is "Backberry Enterprise Server for Microsoft Exchange".

In order to upgrade my Blackberry Professional Software to Enterprise, instead of purchasing the trade-up key, since we already have the Enterprise software, can I just put in the new SRP ID and Auth Key, and that should allow me to upgrade?

Any help on what to do here would be great. Thanks!

That will not work. You need the upgrader kit for it. They upgrade the old SRP key.

as i know, SBE is same software with BES full version, cause of that now RIM not publish again SBE ( Change BPS ). just maybe.

I had try to upgrade SBE to full version, the thing that i'm had doing is change the Cal license.

First, you remove using command promt or manual the CAL license, then add CAL license Full version.

Sorry if i'm wrong, this maybe 1 years ago.

I already have both CAL's in there...a 1 user that starts off as "bescal" and a 20 user that starts off as "besx35"...if that helps. I think the 1 CAL is for Enterprise, and the 20 was Small Business.

I think this is the actual order in which everything happened...

1. Installed SBS software
2. Put in SRP Auth key and CAL for 1 user Enterprise
3. Put in SBS CAL for 20 users when we realized we had more liscenses

knottyrope - Where can I get the upgrader kit? Do I have to pay for this?

All my licence keys are "bescal" and we started with a 10 user SBE, not BPS, added two more individual SBE licences, added the upgrade licence key to full BES, which gave us an extra 5, and then a 10-pack of full BES licences.

At no point have I had to reinstall anything.
