BES 5 Cut over

[mystics7]

Was hoping someone with more experance could give the thumbs up on this one. Currently i have BES 4.1.4 running. I want to upgrade to BES 5 on a new machince with a new DB. So in my thinking and reading is installed the new machine/software once that is all done i can move over my users. two things that i have questions on are. in the upgrade guide it says you require SRP credentials for the new server. Is it ok for me to use the 60 trial one and then switch it for my vaild one once i am done transfering users to the new server. and the other question is transfering users would not require me to reactivate them, the users/blackberries will only notice getting new service books correct? thanks for you help!!!!!!!

Yes, that is the right way to do it

If you use the Blackberry Transporter tool to migrate the users from old to new BES it is meant to avoid the need to re enterprise activate. If you are manually deleting them from the old and manually recreating them on the new server, you will have to re-enterprise activate.

BB Transporter only moves the users, not the IT Policies..
