I think it costs $700, which I was willing to pay for the comfort , peace of mind and convenience. It basically allows you to have a second SRP ID and your new server and old server both connected to the BB network for 90 days. With this and the free BES migration tools, I simply setup my new server and moved users from the old system to the new one at my leisure. No moving databases, knife edge cut-overs or other silliness. The migration was easy, with no downtime for users. The only effect the migration had on users was each BB was restarted remotely one time when I moved the specific user account.to the new server.

I have *no* experience with BES so I need to familiarize myself with it first and go from there. Lots to learn! Just wondering if anyone is familiar with useful lists or forums? Is the process straightforward or complex? If there’s anything at all that you’d be willing to share to get me started, it would be greatly appreciated!
