    - Upgrading Domino® servers
      Upgrading a Domino® server refers to installing a new release of Domino software.
    - Upgrading Notes® clients
      You can push an upgrade to Notes® clients using Notes Smart Upgrade or other third party mechanism, Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SURUNAS), or Upgrade-by-mail. You can also upgrade Notes clients using the Notes installation executable either silently (command line) or using the installer's graphical user interface. The supplied installation executable is used for an initial install or an upgrade install.
      - Backing up and restoring Notes® client files
        Domino® administrators should periodically back up Notes® applications and files for users.
      - Upgrading from Notes® single user to Notes® multi-user
        While it is not possible to upgrade from a Notes® single user installation to a Notes multi-user installation during an upgrade install, you can use the supplied Notes® single user to multi-user migration assistant tool to migrate an existing single user installation to a multi-user installation within the same release and then run the upgrade install.
      - Using Notes® Smart Upgrade
        IBM® Notes® Smart Upgrade is a administrative tool for pushing Notes client upgrades to users. Smart Upgrade notifies users to upgrade their Notes clients by a stated date and simplifies the upgrade process by essentially performing the upgrade the task with little or no user intervention.
      - Using the Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard
        Use the Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SUSETRUNASWIZARD.EXE) to create an executable file (SURUNAS.EXE) that Notes® client users, running on Microsoft™ Windows™, can run to upgrade their Notes clients. SURUNAS is ideal for pushing Notes client upgrades to users who do not have administrator or elevated privileges.
      - Using Upgrade-by-mail
        Upgrade-by-mail sends an e-mail notification to users instructing them to upgrade their Notes® client and optionally, their mail file template. You can also use Upgrade-by-mail to notify users that their mail files have been migrated to Notes® mail.

Upgrading Notes® clients

You can push an upgrade to Notes® clients using Notes® Smart Upgrade or other third party mechanism, Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SURUNAS), or Upgrade-by-mail. You can also upgrade Notes® clients using the Notes® installation executable either silently (command line) or using the installer's graphical user interface. The supplied installation executable is used for an initial install or an upgrade install.

Before you begin the Notes® client upgrade, do the following:

Review the Upgrade Central: Planning your upgrade to Notes and Domino 9.0 on the Notes® and Domino® wiki.
Review the Considerations topic in this guide specific to your client platform.
Close all open applications, including anti-virus software.
Ensure that users have Write and Modify permissions to the program directory, data directory, and all associated subdirectories.
Have administrative or root access rights required to install/upgrade Notes®.
If you are upgrading Notes® on a Microsoft™ Windows™ system, log in as an administrator or set administrator-level privileges for all users. If administrative rights are not available, enable the setting Always install with elevated privileges.
For information about using Smart Upgrade with a Linux™ kit, see Configuring for Lotus Notes® 8.5 SmartUpgrade on Linux™ using RPMs on the IBM® Support site in the related information.
Back up critical files as described in the article Backing up and restoring Notes® client data on the Notes® and Domino® wiki in the related information.
Optionally customize the Notes® install kit, for example to add a new signed feature or remove a supplied feature.
Optionally specify Domino® policies to be deployed during upgrade.

For information about chaining Smart Upgrade kits see IBM® Tech Note 1438849 Chaining Notes® Smart Upgrade Kits at the IBM® Support site in the related information.
