</FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=063520803-15032005><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>There is a new
non-critical BES 5.0 release that addresses a number of issues with BES 5.0.5.0
and earlier. The idea for this release is to fix a number of the most
problematic issues without having to wait for the BES 5.1 release scheduled for
mid-Q2. Most of the changes are to the BES Console and to BES Web Reports
(included in the BES Server upgrade). You will find upgrade Tasks (not Fixlet
messages) in the BES Support Fixlet site that will allow you to upgrade the BES
Server and BES Console. You can upgrade the BES components in any
order. A<FONT face=Verdana><FONT face=Arial>ll BES 5.0.14.0 components are
fully forwards and backwards compatible with earlier BES 5.0.x
components.</FONT> </FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=063520803-15032005><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are no changes
to the BES Client and there are only very minor changes to the BES Relay so we
are not making an upgrade Task available for the BES Relay or BES
Client.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
