License classes
Server licenses can be one of the following classes. The class determines how long the license is valid. You can use BlackBerry Management Studio to view when your trial or subscription licenses expire.
When a license expires, BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 checks for available licenses, and if a valid license is available, assigns it to the device. If a valid license is not available, the device continues to work as expected, but cannot be reactivated until a valid license is available.

Trial |
Trial licenses are licenses that you use to evaluate BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10. Trial licenses are valid for a set amount of time. When you activate trial licenses, you enable the features that are available for your trial. When trial licenses expire, you can buy subscription or perpetual licenses. See Impact on the domain when trial licenses expire. |
|
Subscription |
Subscription licenses are valid for a subscription period (for example, an annual subscription). When subscription licenses expire, you cannot activate new devices or reactivate existing devices (unless other valid licenses are available). The BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 services continue to run as expected, and you can continue to manage activated devices. You can buy more subscription licenses or you can buy perpetual licenses. |
|
Perpetual |
Perpetual licenses do not expire. |
Your organization's domain can have a combination of trial, subscription, and perpetual licenses. You can add subscription and perpetual licenses at any time, and you can continue to use trial licenses until they expire. If your domain has trial licenses with different trial periods, BlackBerry Management Studio displays the status of the trial licenses that expire first.
