I think you can better get a full newer version e.g. 5.0.11, it is no problem to install a newer version on top of your 5.0.6a

Adam Tate, I'm DESPERATELY looking for domino 5.0.7a incremental upgrade. Please let me know if you still have this is we're trying to upgrade from 5.07 to 5.0.12 and we're missing the 5.0.7a.

Thanks,
Oragon

I really do not understand why people are always asking for these incremental installers. Why do you not just do as "Oragon" and many others in this and other forums advice and just download the full version?

Incremental installers are only good to save download times. They have no other use and they complicate system upgrades.

So just download 5.11 or higher and it will do everything you need to do.
If downloading such a big file is to much: just contact any Lotus Notes business partner in your area and they will send you the CD for free! Most of the time they even throw in R6 on the same CD. If you call them now you probably have the CD tomorrow!





Kind regards,

AmzingDominik, in a perfect world I would agree with you. However in the real world this is not allways possible.
The organization I work for has spent a great deal of cash to purchase thousands of GetAccess licenses so that our Domino web servers use NT authentication.

Unfortunately, our version of GetAccess is not compatible with Domino versions greater than 5.0.9a. Until there is a corporate need or desire to spend more money to replace those licenses that work, installing the latest full version will not be possible if we want to use the most current, compatible version.

I suspect there are many other Domino administrators out there who are in similar circumstances.

It seems the final sentence on my last post did not make it.
