Install or upgrade
BlackBerry UEM
 using the command prompt window

You can install or upgrade
BlackBerry UEM
 using the command prompt window. Before you install the software using this method, you must acknowledge your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the BlackBerry Solution License Agreement (BBSLA) for your region. By acknowledging your acceptance of the BBSLA, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the BBSLA.
When you install or upgrade
UEM
 from the command prompt, you can configure an encrypted connection between
UEM
 and
Microsoft SQL Server
. By default, the connection is not encrypted. If you want to encrypt the connection after the installation or upgrade, see Encrypt the connection between BlackBerry UEM and Microsoft SQL Server. Please note that the encrypted connection can result in an increase in the CPU on the computer that hosts the
BlackBerry UEM Core
.
If you want to configure an encrypted connection between
UEM
 and
SQL Server
 when you install or upgrade
UEM
 using the command prompt, you must export and store the certificate authority signing the
SQL Server
 certificate (.cer) on the computer where you will install or upgrade
UEM
.

    UEM
     software.

     installation files.
  3. Open a text editor in administrator mode.
  4. Use the text editor to open the deployer.properties file.

      UEM
       services, or you want to switch the
      UEM
       services to use a gMSA during the upgrade process, add the following parameter:
