Upgrading the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software by
overwriting the existing version
The in-place upgrade process upgrades the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software by replacing the existing version of the
software.
Advantages
• You do not require additional computers to perform
this upgrade.
• When the upgrade process completes, user accounts
are active, and no additional administrative action is
required.

When you use the in-place upgrade process, the following events occur:
• BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry® Device Software Version 4.0 or later receive new service books, and
wireless data synchronization occurs.
• All BlackBerry devices receive new IT policies.
