Additional entitlements with Lotus Notes and Domino licenses
If you prefer per user licensing, you pay a per user charge based on the size of your environment, and have the flexibility to deploy any combination of specified types of IBM® Lotus® Domino® server and client access options. Access to Lotus Domino servers deployed with per user licensing is limited to users for which you have paid the per user charge. No access from outside the designated user community is allowed.
Selected IBM Lotus Domino Express offerings and IBM Passport Advantage complete Enterprise Option (CEO) bundles are available for licensing in this manner. Each offering or bundle includes a specific set of products with associated terms and conditions for quantity of per user licenses.
IBM Lotus Domino Express offerings
- IBM Lotus Domino Messaging Express (messaging function only)
- IBM Lotus Domino Collaboration Express (full messaging and collaboration support)
Lotus Domino Express offerings are designed for, and only available to, companies that have 1000 employees or fewer. License restrictions remove selected Lotus Notes and Domino elements and attributes that are appropriate primarily to larger enterprises. With the Lotus Domino Messaging Express and Collaboration Express offerings, the per user charge applies to the number of Lotus Notes and Domino users, which may be less than the total number of employees, (but the total amount of employees in the company must still be under 1,000).
IBM Passport Advantage CEO bundles that include Lotus Notes, Lotus iNotes, Lotus Notes Traveler, and Lotus Domino
- IBM Lotus Communications CEO bundle
With a CEO bundle, you pay for the total number of employees in your company who have been assigned a computer capable of running the software. A minimum of 100 or 400 users applies, depending on the specific bundle. You are then licensed to use as many Lotus Domino Messaging or Lotus Domino Enterprise servers within your enterprise as you want, and your organization's employees are licensed for any of the software products listed in the bundle.
IBM Hosted offerings
- IBM Lotus Notes Hosted Messaging
With hosted offerings, you focus on innovation and strategic initiatives, while IBM manages infrastructure concerns such as security.
