Understanding the Numbering Scheme
BlackBerry Manager About Screen
The standard
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version number scheme consists of four numeric integer values separated by decimal points. For explanation purposes, the version is described with letters here:
A.B.C.D
In this case:
- A is the Major Version Number
- B is the Minor Version Number
- C is the Service Pack Level
- D is a sequential build number
For example, Version 4.1.5.26 is broken down as follows:
- BES 4.1
- Service Pack 5
- The build number is 26 but this number may not be consistent across all BES components. It can usually be ignored. This build number may be incremented for maintenance releases and hot fixes.
