Can I upgrade to Notes 8.5.1

Hi all,our company are using note 6.

It’s pretty old.

Can I install the notes 8.5.1 by myself without upgrade server? Do I need a license to upgrade the notes client?

And is it possible for Notes 6 to use note 8.5.1 template?

Subject: Yes, Yes, no … but

Can I install the notes 8.5.1 by myself without upgrade server?Yes - the client setup can just install over the existing one and upgrade it.

Do I need a license to upgrade the notes client?

Yes - unless your company has software assurance which, given they’re still on R6 is unlikely.

And is it possible for Notes 6 to use note 8.5.1 template?

No - but if you upgraded your client it would be the other way round, 8.5.1 using an R6 template. This will work but you’d be missing quite a few features.
