    Hi Ed,

    Love that you/IBM have put in some more comments from various customers in both press releases and on the updated Notes/Domino pages on ibm.com. Keep up the good work!

    Ed,

    Can someone also update this FAQ site with change of product from Domino Web Access to newish name iNotes.

    Will the CEO categories (eg Lotus Communication) be updated to reflect the new CAL names?

    Was going through the new license agreement start 851. Got confused.

    Domino Enterprise CAL entitles to use Sametime Entry with some restrictions.

    { Link }

    I quote" 5. Use IBM Lotus Sametime Entry provided with the Program solely and exclusively within the Program environment to support 1) integrated presence awareness and text-based instant messaging capabilities within a single Community, 2) chat logging service provider interface, and 3) the provided client plug-ins for integration with selected Microsoft applications. Licensee may not modify default settings, policies as established within the Sametime Server, or enable any additional capabilities unless Licensee has acquired a valid PoE to IBM Lotus Sametime Standard or IBM Lotus Sametime Advanced; and""

    When I read further there is contradiction, it says use Sametime Entry beyond the default configuration...

    { Link }

    I quote "If Licensee has acquired a PoE to IBM Lotus Domino Enterprise Client Access License for each Authorized User that accesses IBM Lotus Notes, PoE does not include the right to:

    1. Enable or use IBM Lotus Sametime Entry capabilities beyond the default settings in the Program as provided to Licensee, or as established by policy within IBM Lotus Sametime server, including without limitation, the following features and capabilities from other Lotus Sametime Programs: persistent group chat, broadcast communities, instant share, location services, mobile clients, online meetings, multiple communities, file transfers, click-to-call, click-to-conference, telephony presence, voice, video, gateway server, media manager, toolkits, APIs, plug-ins or applications built using the APIs available in the Program toolkits, except as indicated above.

    @3 - I'm not sure what the confusion is. The last four words of your second quote say "except as indicated above." What specifically is unclear to you?
