I found
this thread which looks like what I need but I'd like to confirm if I may...
We switched to VzW and in the process I got a big discount on new 8830's and a BES Enterprise license with 11 cals.
Currently we are running a maxed-out BES SBE server (v4.1). I purchased the extra cals needs to go to 16 total. Now I need to do the upgrade.
Unfortunately the upgrade license key from SBE -> Enterprise was not available through the VzW deal. Now I have a new BES Entrprise download and new licenses to install.
My preference would be not to have to wipe and re-activiate all of our devices to get the new version on.
I would like to upgrade the software on the same hardware.
So I think I have these options after doing a full backup of the condif database:
1. Try to install the new BES download over the top of the currrent SBE installation just to see what happens or...
2. Uninstall the current SBE version and install the new BES Enterprise download. Then restore (or move) the configuration database to the new installation using the "knife-edge cutover" process in the knowledgebase.
Is there a better way to accomplish this?
