Like Upgrade-by-mail, Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade sends a notification to users to upgrade their Notes clients. Notes client users with administrator privileges on their local computer can still use Smart Upgrade.

Smart Upgrade Run-As is designed for Notes client users who do not have administrator privileges but who still need to periodically update their Notes client software. Notes client users can use the Smart Upgrade Run-As (SURunas) feature to upgrade to a newer Notes client release. The Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SUSETRUNASWIZARD.EXE) creates an executable file (SURUNAS.EXE) that Notes client users can then run to upgrade their Notes clients. Upgrade-by-mail applies only to Notes client users. Note Upgrade-by-mail is not available for IBM® Lotus® Domino® Web Access (iNotes Web Access) users. If the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator client and/or IBM® Lotus® Domino® Designer client are resident, they can also be upgraded using the Notes Allclient install kit. The notification message includes buttons that users click to launch the Lotus Notes installation program and to replace the design of their Notes mail file.įor Microsoft® Windows® users, you can also upgrade an Notes 6.5.x and greater installation to the current Notes release using the Notes installer in the Notes install kit. In the upgrade notification, you specify the path to SETUP.EXE. Upgrade-by-mail requires that you copy all installation files to a network file server or a shared directory that users can access. Upgrade-by-mail is an e-mail notification system that notifies users to upgrade their Notes clients and mail file templates to the Notes and Domino design.

Also see the topics describing how to customize the Notes install kit prior to upgrade. See the platform-specific considerations and install topics in this guide for information about running the Notes installer to upgrade your existing Notes client systems to this release.
