Troubleshooting: Activation errors and issues
Activation errors
Error | Possible solution |
---|---|
Device activation can't be completed because the server is out of licenses. For assistance, contact your administrator. | In the UEM management console, verify that licenses are available. If necessary, activate licenses or purchase additional licenses. |
Profile failed to install. The certificate "AutoMDMCert.pfx" could not be imported. | This error is displayed on an iOS device when a profile already exists on the device.Go to Settings > General > Profiles on the device and verify that a profile already exists. Remove the profile and try to activate again. If the issue persists, you might have to reset the device because data might be cached. |
Profile Installation Failed: The new MDM payload does not match the old payload. | This error is displayed on an iOS device when a profile already exists on the device.Go to Settings > General > Profiles on the device and verify that a profile already exists. Remove the profile and try to activate again. If the issue persists, you might have to reset the device because data might be cached. |
Error 3007: Server is not available. | This error can occur if the certificate that UEM uses to sign the MDM profile that it sends to an iOS device is not trusted by the device (the user is prompted to trust this certificate when they activate the device). In an on-premises environment, install the root certificate for the CA that issued the certificate. See Changing the certificates that BlackBerry UEM uses for authentication in the Configuration content.This error can also occur if you configure a transparent proxy such as Blue Coat that monitors port 443 for non-standard traffic and the UEM Client cannot make the required HTTP CONNECT and HTTP OPTIONS calls to UEM . Verify that your proxy configuration is not blocking the UEM Client from making these calls. |
Unable to contact server, please check connectivity or server address. | This error can occur if the username (or customer address if registration with the BlackBerry Infrastructure was disabled) was not entered correctly or if the activation password has not been set or has expired.Verify that the username, password, and customer address (if applicable) is accurate, or set a new activation password with UEM Self-Service and try again. |
Activation issues
Issue | Possible solution |

iOS or macOS device activations fail with an invalid APNs certificate. | The APNs certificate may not be registered correctly. Perform one or more of the following actions:
|
Users do not receive the activation email. | If users are using a third-party mail server, email messages from UEM can be marked as spam and end up in the spam email folder or the junk mail folder. |
The user details screen in UEM is showing more activated Windows devices than expected. | When a user installs BlackBerry Access and BlackBerry Work for Windows on a computer, these apps display as a Windows device on the user details screen. This is expected behavior. |
