Install 
BlackBerry UEM
 in your development environment

You must install 
BlackBerry UEM
 version 12.7 or later on your development computer to ensure that the system is properly configured, to allow the 
BlackBerry UEM
 plug-in to access the 
UEM
 services and database, and to allow you to test the plug-in integration. It is a best practice to install 
BlackBerry UEM
 before you set up your development environment in 
Eclipse
, to ensure that your development computer has the right version of the JRE and other requirements.
This 
BlackBerry UEM
 instance should be reserved for development testing only, with its own SRP ID and authentication key. After you complete and test your plug-in in the development environment, you can package and deploy it to a production 
BlackBerry UEM
 domain.
  1. Visit developers.blackberry.com and do one of the following:
    • Register a new 
      BlackBerry
       Online Account with new organization information that you will use specifically for development purposes. You get an option for 25 trial licenses that are valid for 180 days (after 180 days you can extend the trial period or request new licenses).
    • Log in with an existing 
      BlackBerry
       Online Account that is used to manage your organization’s production 
      UEM
       licenses. 
      Note:
       If you choose this option, the licenses you use for your development instance are shared from the same pool of licenses for your production instances.
  2. In the top-right menu, select 
    My Organization
    .
  3. Navigate to the menu listing your server instances and select the option to add a server.
  4. Choose 
    Unified Endpoint Manager (UEM)
     and the on-premises deployment option. If you created a new account with a new organization, in the 
    Licenses
     section, choose 
    Developers
    .
  5. Specify any other required information and add the server.
    You receive an SRP ID and authentication key that you will use to install 
    BlackBerry UEM
     on your development computer.
    • If you created a new account, you receive 25 trial user licenses that are valid for 180 days. If you install more than one 
      UEM
       instance for development, the trial licenses are shared across all instances.
    • If you are using an account that is also used to manage licenses for production 
      UEM
       instances, when you install 
      BlackBerry UEM
      , choose to install a new 
      BlackBerry UEM
       database and use the provided SRP ID and authentication key; this creates a new 
      UEM
       domain for development that is separate from the production 
      UEM
       domain.
  6. Visit BlackBerry UEM and BES Downloads to download 
    BlackBerry UEM
    .
  7. Install and configure 
    BlackBerry UEM
     on your development computer. See the BlackBerry UEM documentation and follow the instructions in the 
    Installation and Upgrade Guide
     and 
    Configuration Guide
    . Complete the post-installation configuration process before you make any other configuration changes.
  • By default, the logging settings for 
    BlackBerry UEM
     are automatically configured by database settings. For development purposes, it is recommended to control the logging locally. In 
    <drive>
    :\Program Files\BlackBerry\UEM\ui, open the 
    UI-config
     XML file in a text editor. In the 
    <fusion-config>
     section, add the following: 
    <log local=”yes”/>
  • You can access your account from developers.blackberry.com to manage your licenses (for example, to extend the trial period or to request new licenses).
