Managing licenses for different domains

You can connect BlackBerry Management Studio to the following BlackBerry domains. Depending on the type of domain, you may need to use a different administration console and process to manage licenses.

In products released earlier than BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, licenses were referred to as CAL keys.

Domain	Console used to manage licenses	How licenses work	Licensing process
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 version 10.1 or later	BlackBerry Management Studio	Licenses control the number and types of devices you can activate and the features you can manage.	Activate licenses after you install the software. Manage licenses in BlackBerry Management Studio.
