Software that You Can Make Use of: the v5.0 and the Express

Author: samanthacole | Posted: 20.04.2012

Paid and free are the two software versions typically available. Free software is a godsend for people who need the software in a whim even if it is restricted to a couple of functions. To step up to advanced tasks, you have to pay for the update.

The Blackberry Enterprise Server is no different; it has the v5.0 as its paid version and the Express as the free one. The difference of the Express and the v5.0 has actually been the topic of discussion in online forums and other sites. Should you go for the cash saver or the full-course plate? Some specialists have provided their own thoughts on which one to opt for.

Both the v5.0 and the Express need a client license (CAL) to get activated and unlock its cool functions. CALs also appear in other software, typically named license keys, to guarantee that the software copy is authentic. One CAL for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is adequate for a number of units-the v5.0's CAL can provide for more though.

The Express contains five or ten CALs, with each CAL good for 75 units if they are all sharing the same server. In contrast, the v5.0 comes with 20 CALs, with each CAL good for a whopping 2,000 units. To get more CALs for more units, you can get Express CALs free of charge, while a single v5.0 CAL can cost about ninety dollars.

As mentioned before, if you choose to get more from your software, it will certainly cost you several dollars. For less than $3,000, you can get the Blackberry Enterprise Server v5.0 with added functions and complete technical support. The cost may be too expensive to consider, but if you run a large venture, you need a complete toolbox of features to sustain it. Conversely, the Express can be a better alternative for small- and medium-sized companies.

You can manage the Blackberry Enterprise Server 5 to behave in a method you see fit for your business. This can be done by configuring the right IT policies, which are applicable for the v5.0 and the Express. The Express has 35 IT policies available, while the v5.0 provides 450.
