you only need to activate this option if you are on a BES with your company. Sounds like you arnt, so just leave it be.

That email you got with weird encryptions is an enterprise activation email. If your phone isn't provisioned to have have BB Enterprise Service access (this is usually provided through an employer only if THEY are offering BES service to the whole company or certain employees) enterprise activation is not going to apply to you. That email that you got (if the email address you entered after selecting Enterprise Activation is part of Microsoft Exchange server) is encrypted that way so that the exchange server knows that you are trying to activate on it. All that encrypted mess is called an etp.dat attachment. Basically, if this is your personal device and the company you work for does not have a BES or Blackberry Enterprise Service/Solution and you haven't been notified by your IT department that you're eligible to use it if they DO have it, then just delete that email with the encryptions from your inbox and don't try to enterprise activate anymore. It's not really going to hurt anything, but on the otherhand it's not going to do anything for you either. Hope that helps somewhat
