This VBScript uses native SQL connectivity via ADO to query your BlackBerry Enterprise Server configuration database for the current number of users. Since the license total is not stored in the database you have to set it as a variable in the script. It then compare the two numbers and if your defined threshold is exceeded, it will email you a notification. Just schedule the script to run daily. Download a zipped version here, or copy below.

can you provide me with what areas i need to amend to utilise this script. Many Thanks
Did you look at the script contents yet? Lines 7-10 are labeled as being the configurable variables to work in your environment, notably the server name and database name. Lines 12-15 are for configuring the email notification, notably the server and recipient. If that isn’t enough clarification, let me know.
