Considerations for upgrades from 
Good Control
 and 
Good Proxy

If you are upgrading to 
BlackBerry UEM
 from 
Good Control
 or 
Good Proxy
, make sure your servers meet the requirements for the 
BlackBerry UEM
 configuration you are upgrading to. 
When you upgrade a 
Good Proxy
 node, it is upgraded to a 
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
. You must activate the new 
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
 on 
BlackBerry UEM
 to enable the functionality. A 
Good Control
 node is upgraded to a 
BlackBerry UEM
 node that includes primary components and management console, without a 
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
. 
For upgrades from a 
Good Control
 node that is 
not
 integrated with 
BES12
 version 12.5, consider migrating your data, users, and devices to 
BlackBerry UEM
 instead:
  1. Upgrade 
    Good Control
     to 
    Good Control
     version 5.0.
  2. Migrate your data from 
    Good Control
     to 
    BlackBerry UEM
     version 12.10 or later.
Using this method minimizes the hardware requirements for the upgrade, and reduces the number of post-upgrade decommissioning tasks. This method also allows you to move data, users, and devices in stages.
To determine if this is an appropriate course of action for your environment, first read the information about migration in the Configuration content.
