When you activate BBM Enterprise users in BlackBerry UEM, users enter a one-time password instead of a BlackBerry ID during activation. You generate the activation password and set it to expire after a specified time. You can also set an activation password to expire after first use.

You can migrate existing BBM Enterprise users from BlackBerry Enterprise Identity to UEM-based management. When users are migrated, all contacts and chats are migrated. However, the migration path is one way: users cannot migrate back to BlackBerry Enterprise Identity from UEM.
