Preparing the licensing server
You install the BlackBerry Licensing Service when you install the administration consoles. The BlackBerry Licensing Service manages the use of licenses in your organization’s domain.
You can install more than one BlackBerry Licensing Service, but only one can be active. By default, the first instance that you install is active. Any others that you install are disabled.
When you activate server licenses, you register the MAC address of the computer that hosts the active instance with the BlackBerry licensing infrastructure. This computer is registered as the licensing server. The BlackBerry Licensing Service stores the activated licenses that your organization can use.
The domain can have only one licensing server registered at a time. Before you activate licenses, verify that the BlackBerry Licensing Service is active on the computer that you want to be the licensing server. For more information about switching to a different server, see Switching the licensing server after you activate licenses.
