Good ruse by IBM - Where is Sametime Server software?

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have searched throughout this forum - and Instant Messaging (Sametime) for the location of the server software

Is it downloadable ( if so it is well hidden)

Is it on the media - (not that I can find)

We are entitled to this according to articles and some information on here - We have 6.51 installed

I have finally persuaded my board to do a trial to one technical department within the organisation - which if succesful will mean roll out to all users - and this would mean a sale to IBM - but I am now completely stumped where to go next

Are there any humans at IBM/Lotus that care?

Regards

I dont know about your entitlements and how you normally get your software etc - but that aside Sametime is not available to download like Domino server etc is.

You need to logon to where you normally download software from (when you have purchased software before) and if your entitlement is correct download it from there.

Personally I purchased a single IM user licence from IBM (some 30 dollars if I remember correctly - I’m just a developer lookign to test/learn not use commercially) that then gave me instant access to download the server and clients from the IBM website.

Hope this helps some people
