Licensing and Compliance Frequently Asked Questions

Ask a Question
  • What makes HCL Domino licensing complex?

    HCL Domino licensing is based on a combination of user types, access models, environments, and entitlements that often drift over time. Many organisations license based on historic directory entries or assumptions rather than real usage, which creates unnecessary cost and compliance risk.

  • How do you determine the correct number of Domino licences?

    We analyse real Domino usage, access patterns, authentication models, and entitlement requirements. This includes active users, service accounts, application access, and non-human usage, ensuring licensing reflects reality rather than outdated directory data.

  • Can you reduce our licensing costs without increasing risk?

    es. Cost reduction is achieved by aligning licences to actual usage and entitlement rules, not by cutting corners. The outcome is a defensible, audit-ready position that reduces spend while remaining fully compliant with HCL licensing models.

  • How do you ensure ongoing compliance, not just a one-off fix?

    Licensing is managed as a continuous process. We monitor changes in usage, renewals, upgrades, and HCL licensing terms, ensuring your estate remains compliant as the platform and your organisation evolve.

  • What happens if we are audited by HCL?

    You are audit-ready at all times. We maintain clear evidence of usage, entitlement decisions, and licence allocation, providing confidence and reducing disruption, stress, and unplanned costs during audits.

  • Do you manage licence procurement and renewals on our behalf?

    Yes. We can fully manage licence procurement, renewals, and entitlement administration, acting as a single point of accountability and removing the operational burden from internal teams.

  • How is this different from managing licences internally or via a general reseller?

    We combine licensing knowledge with deep Domino platform expertise. This means licensing decisions are based on how Domino actually behaves in real environments, not generic reseller guidance or incomplete documentation.

  • Will this work alongside upgrades, migrations, or retirement programmes?

    Yes. Licensing optimisation is often critical to Domino upgrades, cloud hosting, modernisation, or retirement initiatives. We ensure licensing decisions support wider strategy rather than blocking or delaying change.

  • Is this suitable for regulated or high-risk environments?

    Absolutely. Our approach is designed for regulated, audited, and security-sensitive organisations where compliance, traceability, and evidence matter as much as cost control.
