There's a lot of information about Notes and Domino on the HCL website, but sometimes it's hard to find or it's hard to know where to start looking.
Here's a list of useful links that can help.
General Links
Launched in 2023, this is a great site to use for downloading newer versions of HCL collaboration software like Notes/Domino. Downloads are fast and it's easy to find things. Log in with the same credentials you use for FlexNet, and you'll find categories and links for the software you're entitled to. It doesn't have everything, and some older versions might be missing, but it's a good place to start.
This is the landing page for HCL support, including the Knowledgebase. If you're a registered customer, there's also a link to create a case (trouble ticket) with support.
Flexnet is the system HCL uses to manage software licenses and downloads. However, it's not always easy to use. We recommend using the My HCLSoftware Portal when you can, but if you need to use FlexNet this article has some good tips.
Links to the online product documentation. In particular, see the Digital Solutions section:
- Domino
- Notes client
- Domino Designer
- Nomad (all platforms)

Notes/Domino Specific Links
HCL Domino System Requirements
A list of links to the system requirements pages for various Notes/Domino versions.
Guide for Upgrading to HCL Notes/Domino 12.0.2 and Newer (including 14.0)
A good document for planning and completing your upgrade from older versions of Notes/Domino.
There are also older guides for upgrading to HCL Notes/Domino 12 and upgrading to HCL Notes/Domino 11.
The new Notes/Domino forum, where you can ask (and answer) questions to the community.
The ideas portal is a site where you can submit feature requests to the HCL product team, and vote on other people's ideas if you like them. There's no guarantee that any of the ideas will be implemented, but HCL does watch the site and several of the ideas have actually made it into the product, including panagenda's very own Advanced Document Properties plugin!
Archived Notes LDD Forums and Wikis
Almost all of the old IBM LDD forums and wikis are also available on the HCL site. This page has a list of links. They're in a read-only state, and they're archived for historical purposes, but there's still a LOT of good information here that can be useful.
Amazingly the Lotus Redbooks are still on the IBM website (as of 2003), but none of the old DeveloperWorks articles seem to exist anymore. We also compiled a list of old Lotus Developer Works Articles on archive.org if you're interested in those.
The old Fix List database still exists too, and it's still being updated with SPRs and fixes for the latest versions of Notes/Domino.
