Hi,
How can I buy a single-user license for Notes and Domino? I just want to run a single on-prem server (non-production) for playing around with (I used to be a fulltime Notes dev/admin +- 10 years ago). I tried contacting business partners in my country, but they are not interested in selling a license for a single individual as they never seem to reply (too much overhead compared to the potential revenue I guess).
Anyone can tell me what the cheapest option would be and if it would be possible to buy from HCL directly?
PS: Not interested in running a server on the cloud, so no external hosting suggestions please.
Sorry I can't help, but i feel your pain!. I am having a similar issue trying to get a new quote for under 10 licences.
Im in india.
I have bought a complete collaboration license for 5 users which isnt too much.
This was for trial and dev effort for an end user. In fact if you needed to host just a web application for anonymous users or even for known guest scenario with edit action for known guests ( with auth workarounds ...for reader access with permission to write public documents) all you would need is a single user license.
This is as per their own documentation.
Pse see this link ...

This effectively implies a single user license is indeed kosher especially to support older use cases of utility server licensing. This covers your case also.
My main issue is that I can't a business partner willing to sell me a single-user license.
we are a business partner. Please send me your details and let me try and raise an opportunity for your case. And see how it goes.
Im based out of india.
