Hurrah! Finally! BES v5.0 has been released. Everywhere in BlackBerry land you can see impressions, download kits, get a hold of the documentation, etc.

But what you want to know is: Does it work?

• We have installed it on a live BES server, over the top of BES 4.1.6, running Domino 8.5. And - it does!
• One issue we had was being able to log into the administration screen afterwards. Its all web based now (hurrah!), and relies/requires SSL style certificate authentication. etc. On top of a Live domino server. This bit might get.. interesting..

. What else ? it looks pretty much like a BES 416 installer - so quite irritating, requires a reboot in the middle. Same old, same old.

We shall keep you posted on stability, etc, as it progresses.

Disclaimer> Do not try this on a live production server without backups, reading the documentation, trying it out on a test server, making sure all your third party applications work, etc. Remember: we cut corners so you dont have to.
