Once you have the mobile module JAR file, install it using the following steps:

  2. Under Install a New Plugin, click Browse to browse for the mobile module JAR file you downloaded.
  3. After you've chosen the file, click Open > Upload to add the module to your community.
  4. Restart the application: service jive-httpd restart
  5. If you haven't already, apply a deployment license that enables you to use the mobile module by going to System > Management > License Information. (For more about managing licenses, see Managing the Deployment License in the core documentation.)

After you've installed the mobile module and have updated your license to support it, you can begin configuring the module. For more on configuring, see Configuring Jive Mobile.
