Switching the licensing server after you activate licenses
The licensing server is the computer that hosts the active BlackBerry Licensing Service. When you activate licenses, the licensing server is registered with the licensing infrastructure.
If the BlackBerry Licensing Service is not running, you cannot use server licenses to activate or reactivate devices (you can still use SIM licenses). You can continue to manage activated devices.
- The current licensing server is not available and you cannot restore it (for example, in a disaster recovery scenario).
- You plan to replace the hardware for the current licensing server.
When you switch to a new licensing server, you release your organization's server licenses and you make the BlackBerry Licensing Service on a different computer the active instance. You then register the computer with the active instance as the new licensing server. You can register only one licensing server for a domain.
