Making BlackBerry Device Software and Java applications available to users
You can make BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available on a network drive, and make the software available to a
user account or user group using one of the following methods:
•
send BlackBerry Java® Applications, the collaboration client, or the BlackBerry® MDS Runtime to BlackBerry devices over
the wireless network
•
install BlackBerry Device Software on or add applications to a BlackBerry device that is connected to the computer that
hosts the BlackBerry Manager
•
make the BlackBerry Device Software and applications available so that a user can install the software and add applications
using the application loader tool
You can also create a software configuration to define how the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server delivers the applications to
BlackBerry devices, and which applications users can add to BlackBerry devices.
Making software and applications available on a network drive
To make the BlackBerry® Device Software or applications available for users to install on or add to their BlackBerry devices, you
must save the BlackBerry Device Software and applications to a network drive and create a software index. You can maintain
only one version of software or an application on the network drive at a time.
