INSTALLING
You can install Domino® with a Community Server evaluation license or with the traditional production license. There is a production certificate and an evaluation certificate and each has its own install kit. The first time the server is brought up without a production license, a Community Server license is automatically assigned. The server console displays a message indicating that Domino does not have a production license and a temporary evaluation license has been created.
During Domino server startup, Domino checks whether you are using a Community Server version or the production version. If it is a production server install, the server startup process continues as usual. If it is a Community Server version, Domino checks whether the evaluation period has expired. If the evaluation period has expired, the server startup is terminated and you are prompted to install a production licensed version.
