- The document introduces the HCL Domino CCB licensing model and provides updates about new features. - It describes tools like the Domino License Analysis Utility (DLAU) that help administrators determine the number of CCB licenses needed based on the credentials defined in their Domino environment. - The document advises running DLAU periodically before license renewals to establish a baseline count of internal users and ensure compliance with the "per user" CCB licensing model.

The CCB model...
“Per User* everything model” use
any client and device
any protocol for
any server capacity to run
any application – including secure mail
... complete use of all Domino elements
with one user based license model.
... former client/server product models
are obsolete.
* A “User” is established by a unique credential permitting logon to a Domino server

3. Copyright © 2023 HCL Software Limited ! Confidential 230615 – CCB What’s New V3.4 - Uffe / 3
General rule: You need entitlements for any and all defined logon
credentials in your Domino environment!
B2E:
ü All credentials (for any employee, contractor, similar users, special roles,
tasks, etc) permitting login to Domino mandates a unique entitlement!
ü Validate compliance by counting established credentials –
use DLAU* to produce an appropriate report
B2C:
ü Anonymous access and external read/only users included with any CCB
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity...

• Licensing by server capacity (Processor Value Units) is increasingly meaningless
and difficult as processor architectures change and Cloud/SaaS prevails –
many customers do not maintain PVU compliance!
• Traditional client side licensing is increasingly meaningless as there are no
longer any dependency on a rich client deployment for a laptop/desktop -
web clients prevails
• Very difficult to maintain a “compliant environment” across client/browser users
and on-prem server/cloud deployments, hence the model will be deprecated !
• Collaboration Express was an old model for doing a limited scale license for SMB.
Now, it is more advantageous to upgrade Collab.Express to CCB.
Think of CCB as a unified license supporting SaaS through on-prem Client/Server.
E.g. for SaaS, every robot, individual person, every function/role need to be provisioned, ie. be entitled.
A simple, manageable model.
Why not CAL/PVU, Express...

Either maintain separate lists of external users, or record external user credentials in separate Directories.

from a Notes client
ü Does NOT require any changes to the HCL Domino
servers, and does NOT modify any existing data
ü Runs in the background – will not “freeze” Notes
ü Results normally provided within a few hours
(depending on environment complexity)
• Also provides “Observations” about your
Domino environment and recommends best
practices updates as appropriate

Preparing to getting a renewal/upgrade quote for CCB:
a) If only internal users:
ü At least 1 month prior to renew run DLAU to set
base line,
ü take any configuration updates suggested by DLAU,
ü rerun for CCB count
b) If also external users:
ü 3 months prior to renew, enable License Tracker on
all servers (prior to V12.0.2)
ü run DLAU every month and follow configuration
guidelines – designate external directory.
ü Rerun for CCB/CCX count.

Understanding Domino “User” Reporting Tools...
• License Tracker (former IBM tool)
https://help.hcltechsw.com/domino/12.0.0/admin/conf_licensetracking_t.html
ü Reports userids using the tracked server(s) during the tracking interval -
indication of specific use, but no information about overall needed licensing.
• V12 Entitlement Tracker
https://help.hcltechsw.com/domino/12.0.0/admin/admn_entitlementtracking.html
https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0095328
ü Maps all Domino environment credentials into maximum ACL permissions to allow “counting” of CCB/CCX users
• Domino License Analysis Utility
ü New tool created by the HCL Technical Advisor team (OpenSource) ==>
https://opensource.hcltechsw.com/domino-license-analysis-utility-DLAU/
ü Assist HCL Domino Administrators in determining volume of Authorized User entitlements needed for a
CCB/CCX configuration
ü Non-intrusive admin tool using data from above tools and inspection of existing user credentials
ü Automating the tasks the Administrator otherwise needed to carry out to establish a needed license volume
No tracking tool data is automatically collected by HCL in any way nor is it used to control server access in any way.
You control sharing of the ”DLAU Reports" which contains the total number of needed entitlements by access level for CCB/CCX licensing (GDPR compliant).
HCL can ask you to substantiate your user counts on renewal of Support subscription, where the Administrator may use the DLAU.
