Not knowing when the Notes 8 version of DUCs will be released, I had to find a way to use the existing version 1.2.3 client.

Method #1 – Don’t uninstall DUCs and reinstall Notes 8 into the same directory as your previous Notes installation. You will have to add EXTMGR_ADDINS=ucclient to the Notes.ini.

Method #2 : For Clean Notes 8 Installs – You can edit the registry.


HKLM\Software\Lotus\Notes\7.0 (new key)

Then add two String value entries: Path and DataPath

• Path - your Notes 8 program folder
• DataPath - your Notes 8 data folder
