BES 5.0 Sp1 Licensing question

[johnchilders]

I am running BES 5.0 SP1 for exchange and have 100 client licenses installed. Will I be able to activate more than 100 BB's on this server as I was able to on 4.1? I'm not trying to skimp, but am not sure how many people will need to be moved to this new environment. Just want to make sure I won't hit a hard stop. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Get a temporary CAL for your migration

As far as I know there is no limits on CALs you can put on the BES. The only real limiting factor would be performance. I don't think anything less than a couple thousand would require a second BES, but don't quote me on it.

I think you're OK and won't hit a hard stop. I have a small 5.x server and recently noticed I had 3 more users activated than I had licenses. I certainly bought more licenses because I didn't want to run into issues later.
