A shrink wrapped license of Lotus Notes software was included with my Lenovo workstation hardware purchase. Does this equate to a client access license?
A. No, Some Lenovo PC and ThinkPad computers may carry an entitlement for a standalone IBM Lotus Notes client license, allowing users to install and run this complete Internet client with rich e-mail and personal information management (PIM) features. In this context, the Lotus Notes client can be used to access Internet (POP3 or IMAP) e-mail, directory and Web servers that are not based on Lotus Domino. However, the standalone Lotus Notes license does not include a client access license to any IBM Lotus Domino server. The standalone Lotus Notes client license would be considered a POP3, IMAP or basic Web browser client that requires a separately acquired client access license to access Lotus Domino capabilities. If you want to access a Lotus Domino server, OEM tradeup part numbers are available for you to upgrade standalone licenses to full Lotus Notes licenses at a reduced price. Consult your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner for more details.
