Device activation help

Device activation is the process of connecting your device to 
BlackBerry UEM
 so that you can access work apps and information and your administrator can manage part or all of your device.
The activation process is similar for all devices, but the exact process depends on your device OS, how much control the administrator will have over your device, and choices made by the administrator.
When it's time to activate your device, you should receive an email message from your administrator with all of the information you need. If you have trouble with activation, you should contact your administrator. However, if you want more information, select one of the options below.
