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.
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.
