LUGLounge LotusCamp Mumbai 2010

Last week there was LUGLounge LotusCamp in Mumbai. Which was organised at CapGemini/Sogeti at their office in Vikhroli, Mumbai on 21 May 2009.


It was a good camp to start and connect with Lotus Professionals in Mumbai. The agend was not fixed, it was participant driven conferences.

Thanks to IBM for presenting on Lotus Notes Client 8.5.2

"An error occurred during license use management initialization. Ensure that you are running Domino with a valid license file".

The IBM Technote 1282346 said:


1. Reinstall Domino 8 on top of the existing Domino 8 installation for which the error occurs.
2. Ensure that the files domino8.lic and nodelock are present in the Domino Data directory.

Well for me uninstalling 851, reinstalling older version and then upgrading the server to 851 works fine. Reinstalling Domino on existing Domino 851 doesnt worked for me.
