Making BlackBerry Device Software and Java applications available to users

You can make BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available on a network drive, and make the software available to a
user account or user group using one of the following methods:
• send BlackBerry Java® Applications, the collaboration client, or the BlackBerry® MDS Runtime to BlackBerry devices over
the wireless network
• install BlackBerry Device Software on or add applications to a BlackBerry device that is connected to the computer that
hosts the BlackBerry Manager
• make the BlackBerry Device Software and applications available so that a user can install the software and add applications
using the application loader tool
You can also create a software configuration to define how the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server delivers the applications to
BlackBerry devices, and which applications users can add to BlackBerry devices.

Making software and applications available on a network drive

To make the BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available for users to install on or add to their BlackBerry devices, you
must save the BlackBerry Device Software and applications to a network drive and create a software index. You can maintain
only one version of software or an application on the network drive at a time.

Install the BlackBerry Device Software on a network drive

You install the BlackBerry® Device Software on a network drive to make the BlackBerry Device Software available to users to
install on their BlackBerry devices.

media.
1. Copy the BlackBerry Device Software installation media to a network drive in your organization's environment.
2. On the network drive, double-click the .exe file.
3. Complete the installation process.
