A single upgrade can keep the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software current, as service packs include all cumulative changes released in previous service packs as well as hotfixes.

Steps include:

1-Download the latest BlackBerry Enterprise Server service pack.
2-Confirm and back up configuration settings and Client Access Licenses (CALs).
3-Back up the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
4-Stop BlackBerry Enterprise Server services and record logon account information.
5-Install the service pack.
