Any Lotus Organizer users/enthusiasts on the forum?

Hi everyone,

There’s a new stand alone version of Lotus Organizer, release 6.1.
Tried to get it from IBM calling the number for Lotus Smart Suite/Lotus Notes and the woman knew nothing about it. E-mailed Lotus to check if I was entitled to a free copy and never got a response – it looks like big corporations need apply here only. This is the link:

Any clues on how to get a free copy will be appreciated.

ibm wants $61.38 for the license and a 12 month software maintenance agreement..

Thanks Bill!

Shouldn't we be entitled to a free copy? It doesn't make sense to me.

Cheers

Hmmm.. interesting. I called and made my request and they sent them out to me no problem.

I think someone had posted a link on the T-series forum with the direct phone number, you might want to search for "Lotus Smartsuite" or something like that, in the T-forum and see if you can find it.

I did call them but the customer service woman who took my call was programmed to handle Lotus Smart Suite and Notes only.

Will try once more. Thanks!

Are you sure? If you're talking about Organizer that's part of Smartsuite - it's version 5.04! The new standlone version is 6.1 and they sell only.

Haven't had any luck talking to a Lotus sales rep - they put me on hold forever and sales of Organizer appear to be handled by a third party according to what the recording says:

Give it a shot.

Cheers

i have a 6.0 version running.

if i check for updates via the program, it said 'no update'

although your link goes to a new version.

I have been an Organizer user for years. I am a lawyer and it is my calendar program. 6.0 has some issues with XP SP2 apparently. One of my associates had trouble with 6.0 is when we found out about 6.1. I picked up a couple licenses at $41 each. The installation program looks a bit different than 6.0 did but the GUI is very very similar. Installation upgrades 6.0 automatically. My associate is now having no problems. I never did before or after the upgrade.
