Simplifying 
Windows 10
 activations

You can use a 
Java
 web application from 
BlackBerry
 as a discovery service to simplify the activation process for users with 
Windows 10
 devices. If you use the discovery service, users don't need to type a server address during the activation process. If you choose not to deploy this web application, users can still activate 
Windows 10
 devices by typing the server address when prompted.
You can use different operating systems and web application tools to deploy a discovery service web application. This topic describes the high-level steps. See Deploy a discovery service to simplify Windows 10 activations for an example of the specific steps you would take using common operating systems and tools.
When you deploy a discovery service web application, you perform the following actions:

Create and install a certificate to secure TLS connections between 
Windows 10
 devices and the discovery service.

Java
 application server.
