Updating entitlements in Notes/Domino 8.5.3

November 7 2012

When IBM Connections 4 shipped eight weeks ago, I was frequently asked, "When will the Connections Files and Profiles entitlement in Notes/Domino be updated?"

Based on what I knew then, the answer was, "When we ship Notes/Domino Social Edition in Q1 2013."

With all credit due to my colleagues on the IBM WebSphere Portal product management team, I have good news. Next week, on November 13, we plan to update the entitled version of Connections Files and Profiles to IBM Connections 4. Two weeks after that, on November 27, we plan to update the entitled version of Tivoli Directory Integrator to version 7.1.

These updates will appear automatically as part of a Passport Advantage customer's available downloads. The license agreement for each of them remains the current shipping 8.5.3 Notes/Domino license, though, like everything in Notes/Domino Social Edition, there are expected changes when that release ships.

    Thank you Ed. I have a feeling this wasn't the easiest change to achieve within IBM's licencing structure, so I really appreciate the efforts that you and your team put in to get it done.

    Wouldn't it be easier for all if entitlements were not referring to a particular version ?

    @9 it probably would. However, part of the idea is to ensure that the versions are supported together. We don't want to ship a product and have it incompatible with another.

    I really appreciate your effort and that the entitlement comes now and not in February 2013. However, for TDI it should be 7.1.1 instead of 7.1. Will that come in IBM Notes/Domino Social Edition in February?

    @11 I will see if we can do that now. (Well, Jane who works for me will see if we can do that now).

    The updated entitlements to Connections 4 Files | Profiles and TDI 7.1 are now available to active Passport Advantage subscribers.

    Please clarify the entitlement to TDI with Domino/Notes 8.5.3 is it 7.1.0.x or 7.1.1.x?

    Thanks!

  1. 15  Ed Brill http://www.edbrill.com | 12/8/2012 11:03:29 AM

    7.1.0 for now. With Notes/Domino Social Edition we should be able to update to the latest.
