Software licensing

5



IBM have improved

• Licensing is a *lot* easier than it used to be• 11 client license types... down to 2• You can more easily move between license models• You don’t have to license every product for every person in your company• So if this isn’t a sales pitch or a marketing session what is it

6



Do you ever feel a sense of entitlement ?• We hope so• There’s a long list of additional products you can use if you have a Lotus Domino or Notes

licensing and maybe you’re here because you want to know more• All of the entitlements add - they add their own features and services but they also add to the

overall experience for your users who see a single cohesive solution

• So let’s start from the basics

7



Why Are IBM Giving Us All This “Free” Stuff?• Well we aren’t IBM so we can only guess BUT• Convincing people to buy a new product is usually a case of proving that it will add something to

the business that the existing products don’t have• The Lotus collaboration products all have their own features and benefits

- Combine them together and they are much more than what they can provide alone

• So the smart thing for IBM to do is to let customers experience and benefit from the impact of all their products working together

• Not all the benefits of course - there are shareholders to think of- So some products are given to you as full licenses- Some are given with limited features- Some are only given as part of a Domino or Notes deployment

So what can we use under entitlement?

Let’s start with the basics

18



Lotus Notes Traveler

19

• Personal Information Management support • Various mobile devices• Android, Nokia, Windows, iOS

• Installed on a Domino server• Easy to setup• Easy to manage• Security controls• Remote wipe• User access control

• So using your Traveler entitlement gives you a powerful and secure integrated mail solution for Smartphones and Tablets



What Problems Does It Solve?• You want to give access to mail, calendar and contacts from user devices but you don’t want to

supply the devices.• You want users to set themselves us• You want it to be secure• You want address lookups to work against corporate directories without storing data on the

devices• You want to have encrypted mail • You want to be able to remote wipe devices or restrict what people can do• You don’t want to pay an additional fee to a smartphone provider above the existing data

contract• You want it to be controlled in the environment you already have, in Domino, by your existing

Domino Administrators and using standard Domino policies

• You want to keep the boss happy.

20



iNotes

• Browser based mail system• Feature rich, more features all the time• Support for many browsers• 3 different modes

- Standard- Light- Ultralite, for mobiles

• Offline mode

• So using iNotes gives you a full featured browser client interface for mail, calendar, todo and contacts

21



What Problems Does It Solve?• Even if you don’t use browser based mail as your primary UI, there are always some users who

need remote access on an occasional basis. Secure remote access.• iNotes gives you not one but three browser interfaces all from the same place

- a full featured client with calendaring, sametime awareness and ever expanding feature parity with the Notes mail client

- iNotes lite optimised but limited bandwidth- iNotes ultralite optimised for smartphone browsers

• and it all comes from the same template that gives you the Notes mail client UI (mail85.ntf) so it keeps your admin overhead down

• and of course there’s the web access redirect application that comes free with your Domino server and passes each to their own mail file on login

22



Symphony

• Productivity suite• Based on the OpenOffice stack• Documents• Spreadsheets• Presentations• Support included

- For Maintenance paying customers

• So using your Symphony entitlement gives you a simple set of cross platform productivity tools at no cost. What % of MS Office do your users use right now?

23



IBM Lotus Sametime Entry

• Vastly popular Instant Messaging suite• Instant messaging in Lotus Notes• Awareness in Lotus Notes

- Applications and mail- Including custom applications

• Instant messaging in Lotus iNotes• Awareness in Lotus iNotes

- Using the Sametime Proxy server

• Limited use functionality

• So using your Sametime entitlement gives you awareness in your Notes client, business card details and photos for all your Notes users, as well as chat transcripts saved and searchable in your Notes mail file

24



What Problems Does It Solve?• What % of your mail is more appropriate to Instant Messaging than mail?

• It’s integrated into your Mail client so it doesn’t appear to be another product

• It shows awareness in the inbox and in applications for all your contacts- as well as their business cards with photos and contact details

• Transcripts are saved into the mail file in chat view, giving you just one place to search- Or you can setup chat logging on the server

25



IBM Lotus Sametime Entry

• Some things You DONT get with the limited license

- Sametime on Mobile devices- Standalone Sametime client- Awareness in browser applications, other than iNotes- Screen sharing- Meetings- Audio and Video Support- File transfer

-

26



Domino Designer

• Free to use locally• Free to use on server

- For any user that has a CAL

• Put designer on the desks of all your design team• Put designer on the desks of your power users

- With limited access to production apps

• So using your Domino Designer license you can develop all those great Notes, browser and mobile applications

27



Cool...Now what else can we use?



Tivoli Directory Integrator• Synchronise external data sources to

Domino Directories or Applications• Synchronise Domino Directories or

Applications to external sources

• Stop thinking the word “directory”- TDI is a data synchronisation toolset- Any data between (almost) any source

• Excellent books/resources available

• Limited Use

30



What Problems Does It Solve?• Register users in Domino and have their entries updated to Active Directory

- Or have the creation of an AD user automatically create a Domino user including user id and mail file

• Have new employees entered in your SQL based HR system automatically added to your Domino directory and have their contact information stored in Domino updated to the SQL HR system

• Keep two or more directories in sync so every change is reflected in each location- No need to duplicate directories, keep the right information where you need it

• You create “Assemblylines” which are workflow processes that define what data sources to monitor and what to do if an item is created, modified or deleted

• It’s phenomenally powerful

• Do you need data to go from A to B? Or A to C?- As long as Domino is an endpoint, you are covered

31



Tivoli Directory Integrator• What DON’T you get

• TDI 7.x licensing only• Domino must be either the source or destination of your

data transfer

• So using your TDI entitlement you can keep your Domino directory in sync with other directories. You can have SQL data updated into Domino applications on the fly. You can create a Notes user ID, an Active Directory account and a record in a database for a new user all at once

32



Lotus Connections 3.01• Client License based

- If you own a Notes or Messaging license you have a limited Connections license for that user

• Files- File storage / sharing

• Profiles- User profile information

- Extended business card- Includes photo- More detail than on Sametime business cards

- Use instead of Sametime Business Cards

• What you DONT get- Activities- Wikis- Blogs- Homepage- Mobile access- Search- Anything Else

33



What Problems Does It Solve?• Connections Profiles are much more useful and can be used in place of Sametime Business

Cards- Nice suit!

34



Domino Global Workbench 8.5.3• Localisation tool for Domino

- Create a single application that can render its static page elements in different languages

- Automatically picks up the locale from a browser or Notes client

• Extracts terms from applications- Stores them- Builds localised versions

• Full usage entitlement

• So using your Global Workbench entitlement you can turn your Domino application into a multi language dynamic application.

35



What problems does it solve?

• Multi Language applications?• Reduce cost of development• Widely implemented in larger global companies

36



Lotus Workflow• Standalone workflow development tool• Interface for designing people-based

business processes• Integrates with Domino server• Easy creation, modification and updates

to processes

• Entitlement with Domino Utility Server

• Be aware- Older version (7) only available- No longer in support

37



WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 6.1• Must be installed on the same physical

machine as Domino server• Extend servlets / web services

• Limited use for working with Domino applications

• What you DONT get- Access to external data- Use of Java connector

38



What problems does it solve?

• Development of more extensive servlet based applications • Better performance / scaling

- Depending on the solution

39



IBM Sametime Proxy Server• Browser interface to Sametime server

• Provides online Sametime awareness in iNotes

• Limited use only

• What you DONT get- Entitlement to Sametime client on mobile

devices- Entitlement to web based Sametime client

• So using your Sametime Proxy entitlement you can have awareness, business cards and chat within the iNotes browser mail client.

40



Lotus Mobile Connect 6.1.4• VPN software for your mobile access

- Access http mail and applications securely via the mobile connect server

• Integrates with Lotus Traveler- via its VPN software on mobile devices

• Integrates with IBM Sametime• Seamless network jumping

• Entitlement is part of a Domino Enterprise CAL or CEO Communications license

client license only- You will need a server license

41

- Helps with audits/justification processes
