I have used the setup.exe, lodrun and rstlicpgm from download images and
all have worked just fine. I've never used the System i Navigator option.
You can load the licensed programs without doing the upgrade. Load the
licensed program at any time, and then run the UPDDOMSVR when you want to
do the actual server upgrade. Loading the 8.5.1 licensed programs will
not remove or impact the 7.0.1 licensed programs in any way.
I had some issues with Sametime 8.5 and reverted back to 8.0.2. I didn't
open a PMR with IBM though didn't spend a lot of time troubleshooting what
my problems were -- so my problems may be an isolated case.

We are looking at upgrading our Domino servers from 7.01fp1 to 8.5.1 &
8.5.0 (Sametime server). Looking at the 8.5 Admin guide there are 3 ways
to do the upgrade:
1).Launch the Domino Server Installation and Setup wizard through the
System i Navigator
2).Use the InstallShield interface by running the SETUP.EXE file from the
product CD-ROM
3).Use the LODRUN command from the command interface.
Which method do you suggest that we use to do the upgrade?
I have downloaded & unziped the files into 2 different folders on a PC
from Passport Advantage. We obviously have not done a Domino upgrade for
a long time & I think we used the lodrun command last time since we
received it on CD.
We will also be upgrading Sametime to 8.5 and from what we have read it
needs Domino 8.5.0 so that is why we will be doing the 8.5.0 server. We
do have the necessary PTF's applied for Domino 8.
Thanks in advance.
