BLACKBERRY SERVER (4.x) IS HAVING ISSUES - REINSTALL ON NEW SERVER OR ATTEMPT TO MIGRATE TO NEW SERVER
I have a 4.x blackberry server. When I installed 3 years ago, it was called express I think.
Starting last night we are experiencing some issues with the server that from what I can tell at this point, are not specifically Blackberry related, just that whatever the cause is, is keeping the bberry services from starting completely.
I see that there is a migration process available. but not sure how stable the server is going to be in order to do any type of migration
I have 14 users and if we decide that the old server cannot be saved, could I not just install the latest (express version or whatever it is called now) on a server and do the configuration.
I would assume that I would be to reconnect each of the new phones. Maybe have to wipe them first?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.

It didnt matter for me. I was able to wipe the phone an re-register it. I am not sure if the old sever continues to try and reach out ot the phone over the blackberry network but if it doest that might be why the reccomend it. I think if the old one is offline you should be all set.

We added licenses 1 at a time and just about to hit 15 (old express version limit) |
Is there anyway that we can get the license keys somehow?
I imagine that they would be part of our account with RIM -
I only added the licenses, they were provisioned by the office admin.
On another thought, I do not really have another server to put the new software on, so it maky take a couple of days to get that in and built up. I guess that I could reconfigure the phones for BIS in the meantime.

What if I cannot do that due to the old server being off-line?
